Open science is a philosophy as much as it is an imperative. It is asking scientists to give up the unspoken reciprocal partnerships between data generators and those who use the data down the road. (…) Reciprocation is necessary, but that it is a potential benefit provided to the data generators that we may be losing in a move to central repositories. Data generation is costly, it is high (or higher) risk, and it is often slow, but it is critical to move macro-scale research forward, and to find the teleconnections between ecosystems that can help push science forward.
