<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#212121">In the 20th century, the academic journals got picked up by big publishers who started charging the public a lot of money to access the science. In the 21st century, it is time to take

The first part of the talk will give a historical perspective of publishing and science communication, emphasizing the need for transparency, data and code curation. The second part will introduce the
