Open science, open research or open scholarship, is an increasingly important discussion topic. However, it can be difficult to know where to go for information. This subreddit will collate the latest from the world of open science, including but not limited to open access, open data, open education, open peer review, and open source.

We use term science in the international sense: from the natural sciences to the humanities and everything in between.

Lofi published this on Reddit asking:

I came across this paper - https://doi.org/10.15252/embr.202255841 (through r/Open_Access_tracking)

It made me think: Most of the discourse I know about research materials and open science is centered around the idea of public access.

But maybe public access is not vital? What do you think about providing controlled, on-demand access? I mean, public access is preferable, but in practice, public access deters some scientists (due to various reasons, not necessarily IP as the paper assumes), and so we are ending with no access at all. Perhaps providing some access is better than nothing.

What do you think - would society benefit from such on-demand access or should we insist on public access only?
