We introduce an integrative “open-knowledge system” framework linking knowledge production, validation, assessment, and reuse into one ecosystem view, and translate it into actionable recommendations for each stakeholder. Shifting focus to modular, machine-readable knowledge objects, these recommendations are intended to help diagnose misaligned incentives and guide reforms that properly value all scientific contributions.en2056-7936npj science of learning20261Nature Publishing Group UKhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Computer Science, Information and General Works::001: KnowledgeFostering cultural change in research through innovative knowledge sharing, evaluation, and community engagement strategiesJournal Article2026-09-0510.1038/s41539-026-00449-z10.15480/882.18210
