Open scholarship, like open source software, is changing research by making it more collaborative, efficient and sustainable. It allows research to be openly accessible and debugged more easily. Studies show much published research is not reproducible. Open scholarship provides more stakeholders and public support while potentially decreasing costs and barriers to entry over time. Sustainability models include professional services, crowdfunding and leveraging economies of scale since costs of publishing are much lower than current commercial publishers charge. The future of research is in our hands to support open access options and alternatives to impact factors.
