https://asterainstitute.substa...ic-publishing-enough-is-enough scientific-publishing-enough-is-enough connects an identifier (left) to a human-readable comment (right) http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment has my comment (this is a literal) "Thank you for this very interesting and important post. The problems you describe are definitely real, and we need to address them. It's great to see big entities like Astera and Arcadia taking such a clear stance because solving these problems is difficult. People don't like to let go of their habits, particularly if those habits made them "successful" researchers. It will also be a big transition, and those are difficult and take time, particularly when collective incentives are involved, where individuals are punished by the system if they deviate. I hope this helps gain momentum and that we can all work together to eliminate these vast inefficiencies in current science communication (and thereby science itself). As a specific remark, I would add one point to your "structural features" list. You allude to this point when you mention "linked data" and "narratives", but I think it would deserve to feature as a separate point in this list: - Unstructured information: The scientific findings as well as their context are not represented in a structured manner that would allow for things like automatic and precise aggregations, updates, and question answering. For example, when evidence (or counter-evidence) for a particular relation between a given gene and a certain disease is presented, the entities (gene and disease) and the relation (e.g. "tends to contribute to") should be formally expressed with community-agreed identifiers, and this statement should be linked in an equally structured way to the equiment, scientific method, raw data, significance values, and researchers involved in arriving at that finding. Only then, we can reliably aggregate all these findings (like live literature reviews!), have all researchers interested in these topics be updated in real-time, provide these data as input for future neuro-symbolic AIs, and generally build reliable and provenance-aware tools on top of this (for researchers as well as the general public)." .
