ResearchOS Exchange.
Serious research assets deserve more than a forgotten folder. Exchange is where researchers discover, publish, license, and reuse the instruments, datasets, codebooks, workflows, teaching tools, and analytical systems that make rigorous work move faster.
Stop rebuilding the same research infrastructure from scratch.
Research produces valuable intellectual infrastructure every day—survey instruments, scoring systems, interview guides, codebooks, models, data structures, teaching exercises, and analytical workflows. Too much of it disappears after a project ends.
Exchange gives those assets a research-native home. Not a generic download shop: a system organized around methodological context, documentation, provenance, licensing, versioning, and eventual one-click use inside ResearchOS.
Built to be inspected,
not just downloaded.
Exchange listings should tell researchers what the asset is, where it came from, what it requires, how it may be used, and whether it fits the study in front of them.

What belongs here.
Resources are organized by the work they enable—not by arbitrary file type.
Instruments + Scales
Surveys, validated measures, scoring systems, item banks, assessment tools.
Datasets
Practice, synthetic, demonstration, teaching, and appropriately licensed research datasets.
Codebooks
Qualitative, quantitative, survey, administrative, and mixed-methods structures.
Interview Guides
Structured, semi-structured, focus group, cognitive interview, and field protocols.
Analysis Systems
Models, diagnostics, reporting frameworks, analytical workflows, and reproducible recipes.
Visual Systems
Joint displays, dashboards, figures, publication layouts, and reusable visualization frameworks.
Teaching Modules
Assignments, labs, exercises, instructor guides, datasets, and applied methods lessons.
Extensions + Agents
Specialized ResearchOS workflows, computational tools, and future research agents.
Find it.
Understand it.
Use it.
Discover
Search by method, discipline, research question, asset type, population, creator, or eventual ResearchOS compatibility.
Inspect
See intended use, provenance, methodology, documentation, license, version, required variables, limitations, and references.
Bring it into ResearchOS
Where supported, a resource should eventually open directly into the relevant workflow rather than disappearing into a Downloads folder.
Build on it
Adapt the asset to the study while preserving source, version, attribution, and the methodological trail.
Your methods work should not disappear after one project.
Exchange can give researchers, teachers, consultants, methodologists, and developers a place to publish reusable research infrastructure—free, licensed, or paid as the marketplace matures.
Creator interest →Useful is not the same as uploaded.
Who created it, where it came from, what version is current, and what changed.
Intended use, assumptions, limitations, scoring, analytical requirements, and supporting references.
Clear terms for reuse, adaptation, teaching, publication, institutional use, and redistribution.
