Nice name, great idea. I hope this takes off.
I notice that the ranking mechanism is automatic according to the altmetric score. Are you planning on integrating HN style upvoting, and potentially alternate filtered lists for most upvoted (similar to HN's front page)? I suppose the problem with that is that scientific publishing moves at a much slower pace than the sort of content HN deals in.
- dazoakley 14y agoThanks for the comments. :) Yep, the ranking mechanism is based mostly off of altmetrics, but we also modify the score based on the number of clicks through to the article, or the discuss* page and the age of the article (similar to the HN decay algorithm), plus a few other things. * so this sort of does the upvote thing, but in a more subtle way - having the filtered list sounds like a great idea though!
