It’s your work. Publish where you want.
But don’t lock it up.
And what about Open Peer Review?
Disclaimer: These are NOT the best, but just our publications!
Try #openpeerreview hashtag on SM for the full breadth of the discussion
Some of our favourite tools:
Absolutely whoppingly 10000% essential:

How do we make open science the norm?
• Education and training for our students
• Learn skills for new, better ways of doing
research
• Empowerment and leadership for the next
generation
• Shifting power dynamics to reduce bias and abuse
• Building a global community based on sharing and collaboration
• Massive-scale engagement to re-align Open Science with current
incentive structures
