I feel like this is basically already what people who promote their papers on twitter are doing. Other than Twitter or LinkedIn or something (I don’t really use either) I’m not sure there’s really a place for researchers to actually post such a summary where it would be useful, unless everyone starts using this site I guess.
Even then, I feel like my time as a researcher would better be spent writing a better abstract, so that this sort of tldr could just be a bolded first or last sentence of a conventional abstract… but I’d be very interested in what other people see as the important or most interesting aspect of my paper
Along these lines, I’ve recently taken to using revtex structured abstracts, which are basically a series of topical tldrs covering context, purpose, methods, results, and conclusions. Maybe I’ll experiment with adding a global tldr at the top
