#DontLeaveItToGoogle: Ein Plädoyer für offene Infrastrukturen | Zenodo

Abstract, From Google's English:  Closed and proprietary infrastructures severely restrict access to science using paywalls. However, they also prevent research from being re-used and thus prevent other tools from building on their content, data and software. Using the example of Google Scholar, I will explain how these properties of closed infrastructures create lock-in effects and prevent innovation. I will also show how open infrastructures can help us solve these problems. The aim is to create an ecosystem that is owned and controlled by the scientific community. Innovations thrive in this ecosystem as barriers to entry are removed and systems can reuse individual components of other systems. I will particularly go into open source frontends, as these represent the way in which researchers interact with open science.
