\begin{itemize}  \item Due to Media / Politician often misunderstanding / manipulating scientific results and positions, the public trust on scientist and research in general is decreasing. People do not see the connection between the real world and the world of science. The scientist and layman's worlds are not only separated by a pay-wall, but often also by a jargon-wall and a pay-wall  \item Transparency and reproducibility are at stake in the increasingly complex world of research, which is still using old-fashioned tools. This 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.  \end{itemize} This implies two important resolutions:  \begin{enumerate}  \item 21st Century Scientists need to learn to efficiently share and communicate their research with the public at large.  \item 21st Scientists need 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 "Public Friendly Open Science". Authorea can pave the way.
