- ajkjk 5y agoIt's really much better than that. At least for the subfields I've followed.

- kekebo 5y agoGithub stars / number of forks can act as coarse initial quality indicators for foss, why not for academic papers?
- sxg 5y agoThe current publication system doesn't necessarily avoid that problem either. Many papers are accepted due to the prestige of certain authors and conformity to other papers in the same field. Filters like these can lead to a false sense of security in the quality of the work.
