because knowledge belongs

to humanity,and is the torch

which illuminates the world.

Research sharing (publishing) in 2014?

more or less the same as in the in 1980s...

● write the paper for your research data

● pay money to submit the paper to a journal

● go through 6 months - 2 years of peer reviews and numerous rewrites

● the published article will usually contain less than 10% of the research data

Sturgeon's law?

90% of everything is crapSturgeon's law

90%

10%

Can you see the problem here?● it takes close to one year to publish

● you share less than 10% of the data

● in the future there’s a ~90% chance it will prove to be wrong…

You can’t publish negative data

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Thomas A. Edison
