"A chronological sequence of selected quotes that resonate with the ideas behind RIO" """I propose the creation […] of a newsletter or journal to be devoted exclusively to the publication of unexecuted research proposals."" (Brender 1959)" "“Ought not all scientists be concerned about rapid publication and wide distribution of results, and even of experiments under way, so as to avoid waste?” (Bahm 1971)" "“funding should be proportional to the past productivity (i.e., the benefits returned to society)” (Roy 1985)" "“Electronic documents give reproducible research a new meaning"" (Claerbout and Karrenbach 1992)" "“if databases and journals become more integrated, the way we do science could change significantly” (Bourne 2005)" "“While scientists have gloried in the disruptive effect that the Web is having on publishers and libraries, with many fields strongly pushing open publication models, we are much more resistant to letting it be a disruptive force in the practice of our disciplines.” (Hendler 2007)" """There is little empirical evidence on the effects of grant giving peer review. No studies assessing the impact of peer review on the quality of funded research are presently available. Experimental studies assessing the effects of grant giving peer review on importance, relevance, usefulness, soundness of methods, soundness of ethics, completeness and accuracy of funded research are urgently needed. Practices aimed to control and evaluate the potentially negative effects of peer review should be implemented meanwhile."" (Demicheli and Di Pietrantonj 2007)" "“What if everyone in the world were in your lab – a ‘hive mind’ of sorts, but composed of countless creative intellects rather than mindless worker ants, and one in which resources, reagents and effort could be shared, along with ideas, in a manner not dictated by institutional and geographical constraints?” (Patil and Siegel 2009)" """I want publishers to publish my workflows"" (Bourne 2010)" """an article about [a] computational result is advertising, not scholarship. The actual scholarship is the full software environment, code and data, that produced the result."" (John Claerbout, quoted in Donoho 2010)" "“collaborative work implies perpetual peer review” (Nowviskie 2011)" "“We advocate scholarly communication à la carte—letting diners combine courses as they please so they get the meal that is most satisfying at the best price.” (Priem and Hemminger 2012)" "“Publishing the final reports would harm neither successful grant applicants nor peer reviewers.” (Gurwitz et al. 2014)" "“Once a good number of proposals were open, lots of other changes towards openness would follow across the entire research system.” (Mietchen 2014)" "“Unfortunately, systematic study of peer review is difficult, largely because of the sensitive and confidential nature of the subject matter.” (Siler et al. 2014)" "“Scientists need to support the SDGs. We must help to integrate monitoring and evaluation mechanisms into policy-making at all levels and ensure that information about our planet is easily available to all.” (Lu et al. 2015)" """we imagine a future environment for publishing that is considerably more dynamic and delivers information and resulting insights far more effectively"" (Do and Mobley 2015)"
