THREE STORIESTHREE UNCOMFORTABLETRUTHSTHREE SCENARIOS

#1: the story of decentralized competition in networks

awesomeif you‟re the hub

great forfairness and scale

when allowed to evolve…

not all unintendedonsequencesare bad ones

small choices in network designlead to large changes in outcomes

#2: the story of therighteous fist of BARGH

factual errors on page 1:4.41 impact factor (top 10 psychology) (not for profit)

not to mention social media outcome…

or google search results…

maybe this is whatpost-publication review actually looks like

#3: the story of eisenomics

don„t wait for alt-metricsdo it yourself

#1: we are allveruca salt now

don‘t care how, I want it now…

wherever I am…

on every device.

expecting scholars to be different is like believing in magic unicorns

#2: data publicationis not the magic answer

“data mining = the data are mine” “you can‟t possibly understand it” “i need to protect my postdocs” “i might get sued” “someone else might find the key”“i„m not paid to make data for others” “it‟s not secure”

publish now?

publishnow?

175,000 data scientists1,500,000 data managers

more trouble

“normal” peopleare becoming sensors sensed processors participants

publish what, and when? who edits?without an epistemology of data publishing?

#3: the attacksare going to get far worse

on FRPAA:“It would also compel Americantaxpayers to subsidize the acquisitionof important research information byforeign governments andcorporations that compete inglobal markets with the public andprivate scientific enterprises conductedin the United States.” (american association of publishers)

not compliant withany community definitions of open access

there will be frontal attacksand there will be subtle attacks

SCENARIO 1RADICAL INCREMENTALISM

acronym wars!

FRPARWA A acronym wars!SOPA PIPA

civil disobedience

routing around the damage

SCENARIO 2IRRELEVANCE (or A TALE OFTWO SH*TS)

i am going tocure my cancer in my garage

i am going to cure my cancer in my garage#1: bullsh*t!

#2: holy sh*t!

notice: extreme absence of traditionalinformation players

SCENARIO 3SIMPLE, WEAK, OPEN, TOGETHER

a “SWOT” analysisfor the 21st century

weak = weakness simple = simplistic open = unpaid

1. there is no “together”without rights

simple.

simple... 2010

2. there is no “open” without cost

we have it for PLoS One: $18,900,000

2. there is no “simple” or “weak” without data

use open datato determinelength of protectio

a weak embargocompared to ablunt intstrumen

full protection

NC protection

true OA - CC BY

simple, weak: articleembargoset by economics

but must be based onopen data

alternative: powerful, blusweeping mandateshow us the damn data!

3. review = together

revolutions cannot be imagined until they happen

FIRST THEY IGNORE YOUTHEN THEY LAUGH AT YOUTHEN THEY FIGHT YOUTHEN YOU WIN

the smartest person in the room is the room… - david weinberger

DON’T GIVE UP.DON’T EVER GIVE UP.
