Any chance you can post a link to what you are working on? Does it involve a PageRank like system?

- Vinnl 8y agoIt's in my profile, the link is https://plaudit.pub https://plaudit.pub It's not currently that interesting to the average HN reader though. The idea is to allow researchers to give each other recognition explicitly, ideally replacing the recognition of "being published in journal x". Since researchers already have a reputation in their academic community, we figured that we could leverage that as a counterweight to the indirect reputation that journals currently have. We do so by integrating with preprint servers and publishers, providing a widget that allows researchers to endorse the research they're reading. The first integrations are set to launch at the start of 2019, so until then there's not much to play with. That said, the PageRank-like system you might be looking for could just be the h-index? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-index https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-index
- Ninjaneered 8y agoGood stuff, thanks for the h-index link, I'll take a look. I've seen something similar, SCImago Journal Rank, but I think that is only for the journal, not the individual. I really like the idea of moving away from the idea of a journal brand as the ranking of importance.
