That rigidity comes from our own discipline and its conventions. The paywall which restricts access is something else. I learned a lot about the challenges of open access versus inclusion from some of the older posts on the previous site. Open access at least makes work available to readers. It doesn’t address the other barriers.

Yes, ofc, working in a business sector gave me an experience I would not have otherwise had as an anthropologist, the whole internal side/perspective on things. Yet, I do not even know if I could write a viable “scientific” article these days, because it often requires an obligatory homage to the … well whatever was going on scientifically in that field for at least last few decades, and that often is behind the paywalls, so not available for us, mere mortals. Also, without being a part of the institutional matrix and not being a native English speaker… well, then all the editing and other arranging is your own (expensive) problem… which pretty much ends up in “oh screw this, I’d rather blog”. 😀
