It couldn't be just any online forum, though. It would have to support scientists' specific needs. It would need to host datasets; make it easy to create and reference charts, diagrams, tables, figures; track post edits and the reasons for them; disincentivize both lengthy and low-content posts; provide advanced search and filter functionality; assist with jargon control; and support consensus building and measurement.
And then there's need for accessibility, for users with physical or mental handicaps, and for users with limited computing and bandwidth resources.
- raverbashing 2y agoYes of course. Github works for some part. Or Arxiv.
- KeplerBoy 2y ago> It would need to host datasets I haven't seen ieeexplore hosting datasets and yet we pay them to publish our stuff. Heck, most people don't even bother with publishing code or data, because there is very little or even negative incentive to do so. The system is completely borked, because most people publish papers in order to advance their PhD studies, not their respective fields.
