This needs to be done well, I agree. Everybody I know in academia has had this idea, so there is demand. However, journals are far too late. In many disciplines everything is shared a year in advance via working papers. These are often posted on authors webpages or on conference pages before anywhere with a formal rss feed. I want to subscribe to specific authors and be confident I get things first.
This will be hard to do well and while the CPM might be great for some categories, it's a niche product. It would be a great service though.
- retube 16y ago> In many disciplines everything is shared a year in advance via working papers. Yes, absolutely.
- alimoeeny 16y agonot all fields are like that and not in all areas you want to be on the bleeding edge. For many purposes keeping up to date at journal paper level is more than enough.
- equark 16y agoTrue, but that isn't really that hard to do now. I can basically keep up to date by subscribing to top journals in my field.
