The document discusses open data and open access, noting that research funded by the public should be publicly and digitally available. It warns about the losses to society when knowledge is kept offline rather than openly accessible. Specifically, it suggests that keeping academic publications and data private could end the use of impact factors to evaluate the quality of journals, papers, and researchers if the pattern continues. The document advocates for public data funded by taxpayers to also be made public and digitally available.
