The New York Times published an article last week (1/21/12) “Cracking Open the Scientific Process” (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/17/science/open-science-challenges-journal-tradition-with-web-collaboration.html) which sparked a late night email conversation between several COSEE NOW staff. We thought it would be interesting to post the article and further open the conversation. What are your thoughts about the “Open Science” initiative? Publishing in this brave new world?
