This means the goal of my work on teaching to read scientific journal articles is NOT to rescue them, but to guide researchers in seeing with their own eyes, through their own experience, that we need to:
1. get rid of papers
2. create usable scientific documentation systems grounded in how human minds work and understand information.

@aeryn_thrace@mastodon.social The fact that papers are used to measure researchers against each other for career advancement seems like a big obstacle to the necessary changes you describe, unfortunately. I agree with you that an actionable and collective "knowledge system" is better than a pile of PDFs, but a bigger reform of how academia functions might be required first.
