I think that’s the way to go tbh. I have zero confidence in the review process and zero reason to believe peer review advances science.

Gaetan Burgio @GaetanBurgioThis paper demonstrates prizes are concentrated within a small group of scientific elites with strong ties to a point we can strongly predict who wins prizes from co-authorship networks => small number of ideas and scholars lead science https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.09412 pic.twitter.com/E0rc6zJC6Q1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -
