Public trust in science increases when underlying data are shared. But often, data availability requests go nowhere.

How can we create the kind of high-quality, discoverable, metadata rich data lakes we need to enable reuse and spur discovery?

Scholarly communication doesn’t work well enough for enough stakeholders. But why is that, exactly? What are the root causes? How do these point to solutions?

Whether subscription or APC-funded, we all know high impact journals can be expensive. But the true cost of incentivizing publication in these elite venues is more than simply monetary. It impacts how research is conducted. #scholcomm #openscience #openaccess #scisky

Did you know: “Shopping” research articles from journal to journal can take months and forces researchers to spend hours completing similar submission forms and making cosmetic changes.

Like the parable of the elephant in the dark, those of us working #scholcomms point to different issues depending on our role and what parts of the system we touch.

What happens if we turn on lights and examine the complete picture?
