Thank you! That's definitely part of it. Most of our scientists prefer doing science to writing it up, so they prioritize new projects over finishing pubs when no one's creating/pinging about deadlines. I felt it in prepping this pub myself — tough to save headspace to write when small fires abound

Haha, fair! And point taken. Two thoughts:
1) We're likely underestimating the extent of the slow-down for a few reasons, so it's prob a bit more significant
2) Interestingly, we've never seen a correlation between speed and "quality" (in quotes just bc hard to define/measure)

Publishing failures is super important! We share negative data and projects we've stopped pursuing in our "icebox" ⛄️

Thanks to all the pub contributors! #GoTeam

We'd love your thoughts! How can we maintain autonomy while speeding up sharing? What makes you engage with open research? Drop a comment on the pub or reply here with ideas 💭 7/8

Even with these trade-offs, we're confident this was the right move. Scientific autonomy and making our model more replicable for others were core goals, and we're achieving both 5/8

The challenge: Without built-in project management, pubs are taking longer to complete (~71 vs. 59 workdays). We're sharing less frequently as a result. And when we do share, we're seeing slightly less engagement from the broader scientific community 📉 4/8

So how’s it going?

The good news: Scientists report better experiences, pub quality remains high, and we can still make smart decisions about commercialization. Plus, our pub team now has more time to improve our overall publishing infrastructure and write pubs like this! 📈 3/8

This summer, we shifted to publishing model “v2.0" — same commitment to #OpenScience, but with a radically different internal process. We ditched bureaucracy and put scientists in control, w publishing support available on-demand instead of by default

Oh sorry, thanks a ton!
