\section{Public Friendly Open Science}
Below make two points:
\begin{itemize}
\item Due %There is a growing tendency for the media and the political class to
Media / Politician often misunderstanding / manipulating scientific misunderstand and in some case even manipulate results and
positions, views of the scientific community.
It is clear that the public
trust on scientist and has often a hard time understanding research
in general and its relevance to society. One of the reasons for this is
decreasing. People that scientists do not
see the connection between spend enough time communicating their findings outside their own scientific community. Obviously there are some exceptions, but the
real world rule is that scientists write content for scientists.
Academia is often perceived as an ivory tower, and
when information leaks out the
world of science. The scientist and layman's worlds are translation is not
only separated done by
a pay-wall, scientists, but
often also by
a jargon-wall
\item Transparency and reproducibility are at stake in the
increasingly complex world of research, media or even the political class. Unfortunately these agents, which
is still using old-fashioned tools. This is in general do not
only a big problem for research itself, but can give science have the necessary background to digest the relevant details, have a
bad name tendency to misunderstand and in
front some case even manipulate the results and views of the
public opinion, which increasingly does scientific community. It is somewhat frightening that the relevance and implications of scientific findings for society are not
disseminated by the people who really understand
and trust what scientists do.
\end{itemize} it.
Transparency and reproducibility are at stake in the increasingly complex world of research, which is still using old-fashioned tools. This
implies two important resolutions: is not only a big problem for research itself, but can give science a bad name in front of the public opinion, which increasingly does not understand and trust what scientists do.
Science remains behind a jargon-wall and a pay-wall, with most recently published papers unaccessible to the average tax-payer.
In this scenario it is hard for the public to trust scientists and understand the relevance of their work.
To improve the situation 21st century scientists need to:
\begin{enumerate}
\item
21st Century Scientists need to learn Learn to efficiently share and communicate their research with the public at large.
\item
21st Scientists need Make their research
to be more transparent and reproducible, so that it can be trusted and better understood by their peers and the public at large.
\end{enumerate}
This is summarized by the concept of 21st century scientists need to produce "Public Friendly Open Science" (PFOS).
