IMAGINE:
Imagine a world where International Organizations recognize
the need for providing Open Access to information generated
from research activities sponsored with public funds.
STOP Imagining:

The Open Access Revolution already started...
Are you still submitting papers without
providing your data and your source code ?
Without Data and Source Code nobody can reproduce your work.
If the work can not be reproduced, then it is not scientific.
If it is not scientific,... do you want to mention that in your CV ?
Imagine an Open Access Journal that will publish online your
Data, Source Code and PDF Documents. Where the results will be
verified in nightly builds. Where the readers will be your reviewers
and will only comment on your work after actually running your code
and analyzing your data. Where reviews will systematically be
published as papers and their analysis will also be subject
to scrutiny.
Name an existing Journal where reviewers implement your algorithms
and try them on real data before commenting on your work ?
Try the [RED PILL]... see the World beyond the Matrix.
