When those questions are raised - whether in good faith or not - I return to the question of "open for whom?" If we believe in opening scholarship we must also believe in opening the practice and profession of scholarship.

Pursuing open science/scholarship for the sake of other scientists/scholars. In other words only the folks already in it (or in the pipeline) is a dangerously narrow view that threatens to recreate an inequities of the academy in a new "open" system.

Exactly! Why make it "open" if nobody can access it?

If it's only open to white dudes in "good" labs, then why even have an open movement? If you're going to push minorities away, then what's actually radically different than just having your old boys network? What's actually being opened up?

the answer is nothing! just recreating existing exclusive structures because it's easy/comfortable/etc. the same vitriol that Elsevier receives should also be directed at white supremacy and patriarchy in the academy - just as bad or worse than corporate control of scholarship

Every time I've brought this up, I get pushback: both why being anti-discrimination, pro-inclusivity, etc., is not relevant to open science (because open "doesn't mean that") but also about how open science isn't a community or movement and so needs no notion of inclusivity.

I realised that over the last year I've become much less of an advocate for stuff labeled "Open Science" for these reasons. I've banged on about this before, I know, but I think I'd rather be doing "Inclusive Science" than "Open Science"

Well I created #bropenscience to mock these people. I think open science can't be left to them.

Another funny thing that happens is that people think open science is about the replication crisis in psychology (my field). These ahistorical takes are cringe-worthy but also I realise Ph.D. students are not being told explicit clear facts about the movement.
