I'm a huge fan of these and similar actions, and of people and organizations like
@hjoseph,@petersuber,@SPARC_NA and the many, many others who helped them become a reality. These are some of the most important accomplishments of humanity in the past decades.1 reply 4 retweets 16 likesShow this thread -
At the same time, over the long run we want to avoid running things through centralized control. Command-and-control economies have a terrible historical record, and usually end up inhibiting innovation.

That's my view of the problems. What of the solutions? How to create a healthy competitive marketplace in scientific publishing?

Normalize DIY publishing! I think our biggest footgun was swallowing the notion that credibility flows from the publishing venue. Since credibility is the currency we're paid in, we ended up handing tremendous gatekeeping power to groups that don't share our goals.

Andrew York @AndrewGYorkRe-imagine scientific publishing. What would you change? My answer: No paywall, no delay, straight to the web. Open data, open code, interactive/animated figures. Transparent, rolling peer review, version control, CCBY license, citable DOIs. See it here: https://andrewgyork.github.io/Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

It was trivial for me to innovate, compared to traditional publishing, because I didn't have any gatekeepers telling me what I couldn't do. Of course, now it's up to me to attempt to convert this output into my credibility reward. Going pretty well so far! Twitter helps a lot.

I agree. I found your site a few months ago, and really enjoyed poking around for ideas. I mostly moved to self-publishing in 2008. Here's the story of one fun little experiment:https://twitter.com/michael_nielsen/status/1031256363458916352 …
