The loss of community in open science: a sign of a failing movement?

Key Points

Open science faces significant barriers, highlighting its struggle to compete with traditional publishing models.
Despite existing for over 30 years, the open science movement has had limited success and impact on publishing.
Article processing charges create inequities that hinder wider adoption of open science practices.
The reviewer pool is declining, putting additional strain on the already overwhelmed publishing system.
