research and publication in the age of social media


























creating a document to centralize thoughts in response to Elon Musk razing twitter

motivating questions

  • what is publication
  • what purposes does publication serve?
  • why publish? what are people's personal reasons for publishing?
  • who uses these outputs?
  • what other outputs do they use and how are they synthesized?

goals/reuquirements

crystalize the best parts of arxiv + github + twitter + paperswithcode + stackoverflow + openreview

NB: this doesn't have to be (and probably shouldn't be) a single monolothic platform, but rather a way to facilitate integrating and interoperating with multiple related tools, platforms, and communities.

  • search
  • discoverability
  • deliberately sought after content should carry related/nearby content to those who seek it
  • personally curated feed
  • subscribing to a journal
  • following a researcher on twitter
  • credit/citation/lineage
  • history of science
  • personal validation
  • transparency
  • visibility of corrections
  • propogation of retractions
  • blocking accidental perpetuation of errors
  • discussion
  • reproducibility and furthering of research
  • git forking
