Why YOU should care about Open Science?

1. You are frustrated with the way your scientific impact is being evaluated, when you apply for a position in academia.
2. You are annoyed with the way the current system of scholar publishing and communication, especially review, works.
3. You think its unfair that exponentially growing costs for scientific journal subscriptions create an incredibly profit-based system, that makes it difficult for poorer institutions and 3rd world countries to access knowledge.
4. You don’t want your tax-funded research to be hidden behind paywalls from the public.
5. You are interested in alternative approaches to scholar publishing and communications.
