You could post a hash of the paper to a trusted host like Twitter at the point you submit it, and you could then refer to that for proof of authorship and priority at a future date.
- ldjb 10y agoYou could, however what happens if an author does not post a hash? If I found someone else's paper without a hash, I could generate a hash of my own and claim authorship. This idea would only work if everybody started securing some form of proof of authorship before sharing papers with anyone, which I don't quite see happening.
