Hi Maha, this link covers the bigger picture of communication in new areas of study and might help understand why we may not be clear to each other. The other point about open access being of “lesser quality” or maybe unresolved is based on people being “out-there” in new areas of study where language and perspectives are not established. Criticizing from the safety of an established discipline is fine for people with nothing new to say:-)

Habits of the Mind: Challenges for Multidisciplinary Engagement
Myra H. Strober
“Disciplinary specialization inhibits faculty from broadening their intellectual horizons—considering questions of importance outside their discipline, learning other methods for answering these questions and pondering the possible significance of other disciplines’ findings for their own work. This article seeks to understand more fully the factors that enhance and impede cross‐disciplinary conversations and the possible longer‐term effects of those conversations.”

And this quote:
Freud speaking of the study of dreams:
“It may be that this first portion of our psychological study of dreams will leave us with a sense of dissatisfaction. But we can console ourselves with the thought that we have been obliged to build our way out into the dark.” Freud The Interpretation of Dreams
