"It’s an open question, really, whether the spread of this badges brand will be a net gain or loss for open-ness in science. What if it spreads at the expense of more effective and open pathways? People who want to be open practitioners, but need to publish some things in high impact closed journals could do better for others by trying those that accept their work after it’s posted as a preprint with open data, rather than seeking out badges."
