Tobias Dienlin@tobiasdienlin.com · 2mo agoCurrently writing a commentary on #openscience in our field. Because open science is so large, decided to start with a visual overview. Any feedback? Did I forget something? Anything that doesn't make sense? Typos? Better design ideas? Any feedback much appreciated!
