The document discusses the transition to digital science and some challenges researchers face. It covers how digitization impacts various stages of research like literature review, data collection and analysis, and dissemination of results. Issues include lack of access to content, barriers to analysis and sharing data, and gaps in annotation and curation of digital research. Adoption of digital tools varies by field and incentives are needed for researchers to fully utilize new technologies. While digitization promises increased efficiency and reproducibility, the future of scientific processes being fully online is still uneven.
