Dear Margaret and All, Thank you for highlighting this interesting and most relevant paper. [ "The impact of COVID-19 on the debate on open science: a qualitative analysis of published materials from the period of the pandemic" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-024-03804-w ]

'Line of sight' https://hodges-model.blogspot.com/search?q=line+of+sight

- and variants - 'thought', 'action', 'duty', 'symmetry', 'best fit', 'demarcation' (science : non-science) .. have arisen in reflection and critique for quite a while.

Geographically - topographically, I experience this almost weekly walking along a nearby coast, a hotel, yacht racing office and 'home' alternate, literaly in 'line of sight'.

It reframes in health our 'transparency' versus 'opaque'.

Note (again I think?) the diametric opposition in Hodges' model between the SCIENCES domain of knowledge; and the public's understanding of science in the SOCIOLOGICAL domain of knowledge.

I particular like, what is essentially a purpose of Hodges' model:

'There were also moves to reframe open science conceptually, particularly in connecting science with society and addressing broader questions of equity.'

equity (equality - inequity, inequality..) https://hodges-model.blogspot.com/search?q=equity

Perhaps it's ironic that being onLINE can without due care and attention blur the 'lines' almost completely.

Regards
