because knowledge belongs
to humanity,and is the torch
which illuminates the world.
Louis Pasteur
Research sharing (publishing) in 2014?
more or less the same as in the in 1980s...
● write the paper for your research data
● pay money to submit the paper to a journal
● go through 6 months - 2 years of peer reviews and numerous rewrites
● the published article will usually contain less than 10% of the research data
Sturgeon's law?
90% of everything is crapSturgeon's law
90%
10%
Can you see the problem here?● it takes close to one year to publish
● you share less than 10% of the data
● in the future there’s a ~90% chance it will prove to be wrong…
You can’t publish negative data
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
Thomas A. Edison
