What I am seriously wondering about in the context of open evaluation. There was a perfect system in pubmed comments, giving you OE right where most people find papers. Why was it used so little that it was shut down?

Good question. Why do people review papers at all? I think mostly because their colleagues, and/or superiors ask them to. Sometimes the power structure does not allow them to refuse, sometimes it's too awkward. If all journals used Pubmed Commons it would be full of reviews.

So you are saying people only review when they are asked to? That is, pubmed commons failed because people were not nudged into it? If so, this would be bad news for the perspective of OE, given that it would mean that few people comment by their own initiative

It's probably bad news for someone, but I don't know what do you mean by "OE".

Open evaluation. Like, poste a manuscript and people will comment and vote on them, write reviews and discuss. Removing the need for journals. Again, I thought pubmed commons were a great idea. Maybe people did not comment, because the paper is now "published anyways"?

PLOS ONE was the first commenting system I knew of, and it was clear people just didn't use it. If I wanted to comment, on a paper, I mostly blogged about it. Because I wanted the eyeballs on my site, not some one else's.

This is going to the heart of it (cf. http://bradlove.org/blog/open-review …): You have a lot more incentive to post content on and hence direct people to your site than a platform. The result is a a severe COI and a complete scattering of comments on the web that is not really helpful

Academics have worked with decentralized literature for a long time. Why should comments be different?

For me, it's that I'm already doing a comprehensive literature search to find the right articles to digest and cite and build on. I don't want to also have to do searches for 1 or more personal blogs or websites for each article to make sure I'm getting all of the expert opinions

Altmetrics do a good job of collecting comments from around the web.

Unfortunately, they do not do that unless the blogger opts-in. And it is not retroactive last time I checked. https://help.altmetric.com/support/solutions/articles/6000060979-how-do-i-ensure-that-my-blog-posts-are-picked-up-by-altmetric- …
