I’d be interested to know what happens as a result of ‘open notebook science’. Commonsensically it makes sense and would reduce people’s time in doing things that they may have struggled through if they know and can find that someone’s gone through the process already, but is there more to it? As in, what I’m on to is does it lead to greater collaborative efforts/ joint papers etc? It’s certainly a great development- SSRN in the social sciences is an equivalent which has similar benefits- but I think that in order to ‘catch on’ since you seem to suggest it hasn’t yet, it requires some tangible, perhaps statistical evidence of benefits beyond the principle of openness.
