The use of “libertarian paternalism” — trying to influence choices in a way that will make choosers better off, as judged by themselves — has been shown to work in several fields3. So far no attempts to design Community Data Systems using libertarian paternalism have been implemented. By default, interfaces in these repositories are framed against the researcher main interest and motivations.
We propose to investigate the effects of a framed interface to influence the decision making process of researchers uploading data to an Community Data System.
