Example 2: Open Research

Polymath and/ or Matt Todd's drug development stuff

Wider perspective

What does the examples tell us about the process of scholarly communication? In short, having multiple publication outlets is not necessarily efficient in terms of communicating research, nor is a delay between acceptance and formal publication of a manuscript, or even the practice of publishing once (or very few times) per line of inquiry. So what if there were a central place (or at least very few places, and preferably interlinked ones) to collect information on a specific topic as it becomes available and to review it continuously?

Brookesia already discovered in 2007 but only now formally described.

A 2010 book chapter states: "All 165 specimens of male deep sea anglers found attached to females to date are summarized in the book, including a photo of the smallest know mature vertebrate, a 6.2 mm fused male of Photocorynus spiniceps."

data preservation

If some elements of the research cycle can not be performed in public for practical reasons (e.g. because research funders do not make their decision process public), it can be instructive to observe how open communities go about writing and reviewing grants, about creating, advertising and filling job positions, or about openly running projects in general.
