What are the challenges in incentivizing contributions?
Despite the benefits, there are several challenges:
- Funding Limitations: Securing adequate and continuous funding can be difficult. - Intellectual Property: Navigating IP rights can complicate collaborations. - Publication Pressure: The 'publish or perish' culture can sometimes prioritize quantity over quality. - Interdisciplinary Barriers: Catalysis often requires knowledge from multiple disciplines, which can hinder collaboration. - Recognition: Ensuring that all contributors receive due credit for their work.
