ARTIS Exchange Overview
We will host two hackathon-style ARTIS Exchange events (in 2023 and 2024) that will bring up to 20 early career researchers together to work on individual or small team projects that leverage the ARTIS database to answer a novel research question. Participation in the ARTIS Exchange events will be supported by funding from NSF.
The primary goals are to:
1) engage a broad group of data users who can subsequently further distribute the data product
2) incorporate feedback from diverse users
3) facilitate interdisciplinary and synthetic research among diverse early career scholars.

About the ARTIS Exchange
The ARTIS Exchange will be a 2.5 day in-person meeting, with the majority of the time centered on actively working on analyses, a model inspired by other hackathon-style events.
Before - In addition to iterating with participants on their projects, we will provide detailed background resources about the estimation of the network, including information on the assumptions and limitations of the data. We will also recommend key papers related to the state of the science on seafood trade.
During - The first day of the meeting will begin with an overview of the workshop, a brief tutorial of the website and data access, introductions and flash talks on the proposed projects, with an opportunity for input and feedback from the other participants. The afternoon through the end of the second day will be time for the participants to execute their analyses. The PIs, data scientist and postdoc will serve as floating facilitators to ensure projects are moving forward. We will also informally collect participant feedback on data and web interface usability. The final half day will be divided between writing up methods and results and giving a final report back to the full group.
After - Following the workshop, applicants will be encouraged to write up their results for a peer-reviewed publication. We will recruit a volunteer panel to evaluate and select a top project. The top project will be featured on the database website and published in an open access peer-reviewed journal.

Applying for the ARTIS Exchange
Individuals or small teams of up to four individuals can apply to participate in the ARTIS Exchange. We will evaluate applicants based on a two-stage process. In the first stage, applicants will provide a cover sheet with basic information (e.g., contact information and eligibility checks), a CV, and a short proposal pitching their analysis idea. For applications advancing to the second stage, we will request a letter of support from the applicants’ advisors and ask them to generate a visualization or a preliminary result (along with the associated code) aligned with their pitch based on a subset of the network data. We will use this product to ensure the individual or team has the necessary skills to execute the full analysis. This additional detail on the approach will also allow us to iterate with selected candidates on their ideas ahead of the meeting.
