My yougest daughter always reminds me and also teaches me "sharing is caring ☺" Are we caring about the other RG members; like members of a big family ; when we share our ideas or point of view?
I hope so........
Most RG members are probably not primarily driven primarily by a wish to care for other researchers, but to be read, cited and appreciated. They share their research to make it more visible. What first is obvious is that by use of RG more researchers are reachable - those from universities that cannot afford journal databases in their libraries, but use RG instead - and other without database access.
A way to succeed with sharing research effectively is to communicate well, respond to questions and requests for help. That looks like, and is, caring.
Adam Smith observed that it we expect daily bread from the baker not because his love and care for people, but by his self-interest. Similar case here.
This is a good question.
I agree with Anders, the motivation here might be more about profile visibility.
I have wondered about the Learning Management System setting that requires a specific contribution before the learner can comment on other posts. If I have to share does sharing feel good? Is it effective?
There are a few blog posts floating around the North American parenting sphere about not sharing. Specifically, what happens to a child's sense of personal value when they must give up their toy immediately? What lesson does the child who is getting the toy learn?
I would like to twist your question just a bit - instead of sharing what if we were generous?
It doesn't have the same catchy rhyme. Maybe we could try "being generous shows my cleverness" ?
Thank you very much Dr. Anders and Dr.Patsy for your comments. It is like saying most people like to be heard but to grow we need to listen more and better. What I learned is that caring about others brings us happiness and success.
Sharing of Knowledge obviously with the community to which we care the most...
Caring is sharing - time, resources, intelligence, work, and leisure...
