Opinion: Reimagining the Paper | The Scientist Magazine®

lkfitz's bookmarks 2016-08-02

Summary:

"Over the past decade, there have been several attempts to increase the speed and robustness of scientific communications. These approaches have focused on either publishing data that is often excluded from journal articles on websites like figshare, or skipping the peer-review process through preprint servers like arXiv. In both cases, the quality of peer review is often sacrificed for promptness and convenience, thus discouraging large-scale adoption."
