We contend that making sense of DeSci research requires open access to diverse sources of *scholarly sensemaking data*. Sensemaking data are the digital traces of sensemaking processes, including explicit annotations (tags, votes, ratings) and commentary made by researchers, as well as implicit behavioral data generated through app usage (reference managers, etc). The problem is that these sensemaking traces are currently scattered and siloed across a multitude of apps and formats and increasingly enclosed by platforms for profit (e.g. Twitter). We propose Open Source Sensemaking, an interoperable and decentralized annotation network, enabling researchers to record, own and share their sensemaking data, thus contributing to the network while remaining resilient to platform capture. The shared sensemaking data will greatly benefit individual and collective sensemaking by enabling the development of diverse discovery services, from simple aggregation of reviews and ratings (e.g., \u201cGoodreads\u201d for scientific research) to more advanced AI-augmented scientific intelligence systems.\n\n# Research and development roadmap (what we\u2019ve already done and what we plan to use the funding for)\n\n## Completed\n\n- Initial research, survey and proposal for the problem of sensemaking in science.
