| #3 The call for open access online publication of raw data concurrent with paper publication is a biggie. There are some cooperative, voluntary moves in that direction already, but if this becomes the norm in research it has many implications. One of those implications is that scientists in e.g. China will now be able to leapfrog many years of legitimate work involved in collecting and validating data. It's akin in some ways to tech transfer to them. Not saying we shouldn't do it, just pointing out that there will be second and third order effects, the inevitable reaction to politicized science on the part of some. |
