[open-science] Open Science Policy Platform - Open Science Working Group Representative

[Peter Murray-Rust]

I have supported Cameron and will support Jenny in the same way.

The  danger with much practice of "Open" - in the academic area and
probably some way beyond - is that it has lost a lot of its emotional,
philosophical and cultural roots. It's partly bureaucratic - academics have
to do it and many hate it - and partly sold as self-interest - you get more
citations. It's critical that these misrepresentations don't get into
European policy. That's why we have to have people who really believe in
Open - and can put this in their manifestos.
