I think this is the best direction for science generally: publish everything open and early.
It might be naive, but I would love an environment where everyone self published or arxiv papers/reviews/datasets/models. Then journals could publish the best papers/review preprints.
I imagine a world where journals beg researchers for the rights to publish their paper after seeing an excellent preprint. Or a journal finds an interesting comment on PubPeer and pays for the author to expand it into a more detailed review.
- WanderPanda 3y agoNice counterfactual! Do you think it is just a path dependency that we didn‘t end up in the (local) minimum that you mention?
- brutusborn 3y agoYes I think we will end there someday but are still overcoming a publishing model historically based on physical journals. Open science becoming more common shows that progress is occurring. It will take a while before academics and systems upgrade skills and infrastructure. When they do, I am excited for enhanced capabilities like continuous science. Imagine a website with a study result with P values which continuously update as data is published and integrated into the existing analysis! https://towardsdatascience.com/continuous-science-6b5ed833ab23 https://towardsdatascience.com/continuous-science-6b5ed833ab...
