(Originally posted on dupe; re-posting here) With the ambient positive mood regarding the significant rise of sci-hub, open publishing commitments from academics and institutions and the correspondingly significant pressure on rent-seeking publishers, perhaps we will see parallel pressure extend to politically partisan or subjugated organizations until an open science free of such politicking emerges? One solution would be anonymous scientific publication and review. Imagine that: let science stand on science, instead of appeals to authority. The bonus with such an approach is that it simultaneously solves for various "isms".
