Abstract

Background There is currently no standardised way to share information about initiatives across disciplines such as health, environment, basic science, manufacturing and international development. As we face increasingly complex problems, such as global air and water pollution, the distinctions between disciplines can limit our ability to respond effectively. When data about initiatives are not reported in a standardised way, essential information is lost, along with opportunities for collaboration and comparison. ‘Citizen science’ and participatory action research are increasingly recognised as crucial methods to use to solve problems, as these methods can help ensure that initiatives are aligned with the priorities of those affected, thus redefining what it means to be a ‘researcher’. However, current reporting methods lack data about the ways in which different people are involved in initiatives, making it difficult to collate and appraise data about the most effective ways to involve different people. The Standardised Data on Initiatives (STARDIT) reporting system provides a way to share this data. Standardised data can inform effective ways to share power during the design, implementation and evaluation stage of initiatives. For example, when designing a response to an epidemic, standardised data can inform which affected individuals or organisations could be involved in the design of the response and which outcomes are most important. Objective STARDIT will enable many kinds of data to be reported in a standardised way across disciplines, helping people appraise initiatives and synthesise evidence for the most effective ways to involve people. Method STARDIT has been co-created in a collaborative way, informed by a number of reviews and guidelines. STARDIT development is informed by the participatory action research paradigm, and is being co-designed by people from multiple disciplines and organisations around the world, using a combination of face to face events, online events and online discussion and decision tools. STARDIT data is hosted using Wikidata which works across multiple languages and is both human and machine readable. Results Since its inception in July 2019, over 100 people from multiple disciplines have been involved in the STARDIT co-design process, including through participation in multiple online discussions and three face-to-face events. People from across the world accepted the public invitation to be a part of shaping development of the system by giving feedback on multiple versions, including people from Cochrane, John Hopkins University and the Health Research Authority UK. Four Alpha Version STARDIT reports have been published for a number of research projects. A working demonstration of the Beta Version was publicly released in February 2021 (ScienceforAll.World/STARDIT). It is hosted by Wikimedia Foundation servers under a Creative Commons licence.
