biorxiv is not a journal

• Bartweiss 8y ago
  This is actually a good point. I love arXiv and what it's done for article access, and I hope biorXiv takes off. But "in the online journal Biorxiv" is still a sort of ridiculous attempt to drum up credibility. Heck, I'd be more inclined to overlook it, but the mis-capitalized title and nonstandard italics both serve to make it look more like a traditional journal than it really is. (And, of course, it's being cited to prop up a really sloppy article.)
