The core of my frustration with #OpenScience practices:
We cannot have a true Open Science until we dispel the myth that papers contain usable descriptions of scientific processes.
This cannot happen until researchers are trained, using evidence-based pedagogy, to read scientific articles for USE, not citation, not argument support, but USE!!!
In my seminars, all learners leave convinced we need a documentation system grounded in usability, & that papers are NOT fit for purpose. >>

This happens by positioning researchers as users of scientific information, instead of as producers. Instead of focusing on putting a paper out, researchers begin to see what information they need from others, and what information others need from them, to apply & use knowledge. This simple, yet indispensable mind-shift, is crucial to creating and strengthening scientific knowledge creation networks where that knowledge is reconcieved as part of the commons, ergo, a true #OpenScience >>
