Ask HN: Can Silicon Valley disrupt academic publishing?
In the last one and a half month, the new Bing was released, a bank went bankrupt and the government took it over, OpenAI released a ChatGPT API and made it 10 times cheaper than the previous API. Also, GPT-4 was released. Lots of big changes in a few weeks.
In that same period, a paper that we published has been sent to reviewers, reviewed and, well, that’s it, I haven’t even gotten it back yet. The editor is writing a response letter, according to the submission system.
Could someone in Silicon Valley please disrupt academic publishing too? Would be nice. Thanks.
- version_five 4y agoMaybe SV leaders can collectively post on Twitter about how bad academic publishing is and hope the government makes some rules for them.
- breck 4y agoWe are working on it. Real-time research, powered by TrueBase (https://truebase.pub/ https://truebase.pub/). Why publish silo'd PDFs when you can instead contribute to a shared global public domain database? The first ones are https://pldb.com/ https://pldb.com/ and https://cancerdb.com/ https://cancerdb.com/ TrueBases are how research will be done in the future.
