Getting more science into the world means publishing beyond papers. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but there are options to help researchers transcend the structure of traditional papers. See my analysis on Human Readable:

Everyone: w/o lifting a finger, we can all shift the convo. Rather than "what's wrong with journals", try detaching from them for a sec and ask "what ideal is possible today that best serves science?" Then we all work to close that gap however we each can (& tell us how to help)

A revolution in scholarly publishing is long overdue. Very excited to support this new policy that makes way for experimentation & change
