Need to figure out how to align the incentives and fix the prestige problem of academia in order for this to work.<p>Open Access exists, but you don&#x27;t get the status you need from it (and weirdly it often costs a couple hundred dollars for the graduate student to publish their paper open access in addition to the Journal).<p>It&#x27;d be nice if there was a way to make the community more like open source software where you get status from sharing and collaborating instead of from hoarding information in fear of being &#x27;scooped&#x27;.<p>As it stands the incentives are directly opposite collaborating and sharing information and really the best parts about science and research.
