User:OpenScientist/Why are open scientists open

Purpose of this page
This is a page dedicated to an experiment in which a group of open scientists try to collectively describe and synthesize the reasons why they prefer to do science in the open.

Specifically, the aim is to provide answers to the following questions:
 * 1) Why did you choose to be open?
 * 2) What is the fundamental, underlying goal or goals you hope to accomplish by being open?
 * 3) What keeps you motivated?
 * 4) Why do you spend your precious little free time on my blog, reading this post and this question?
