Science faces a reproducibility crisis. There is a need to establish open science practices within the academic reputation economy. Open Science Badges address this issue by promoting and acknowledging research sharing and documentation. The generic design of currently awarded badges enabled their adoption across the sciences. Yet, their general nature makes it difficult to reflect individual practices and needs of distinct scientific fields. In this paper, we explore uses and effects of highly tailored badges in research data management. We implemented six science badges in a particle physics research preservation service. Our exploration showed that scientists were open to encouraging valuable scientific practices through tailored science badges. They described entirely new opportunities for interaction with research repositories. We present design implications for systems that promote reproducibility, related to meaningful criteria, repository navigation, and content discovery. Finally, we discuss the scope and uses of tailored science badges in modern science. |
