科学发布平台：期刊与数据的融合？

F1000的CEO Daniel Marovitz发表了一篇博文，唱衰科学期刊的发展前景：Science Journals Have Passed Their Expiration Date — It’s Time for the Publishing Platform。

Technology has helped so many industries evolve over the past few decades, but scientific publishing, surprisingly, has hardly changed since the first journal article in 1665. They must; their day is done. Their continuing existence damages science.

其列举了几个重要原因：

• The use of an arbiter (Editor) in science
• Extensive delays
• The public trust
• Anonymous peer review
• Missing data

匿名评审在非开放时代很有作用，但在开放的网络社会所能起到的作用并没有那么大。
其提出了一个新观点，科学需要一个新的发布平台而不是期刊。

What the world needs are publishing platforms, not journals.

文章和数据都应在发布平台进行发布，这是其对科学发布平台的期望。科学应该进入一个新时代。
