That's an interesting question... One weakness of the academic publishing system has been that it never cared much about reproducible scientific results. Hopefully that segment of academia can muster some way of supporting efforts to support / refute such work. This will be difficult because of communication issues - it's all too easy to refute something different from the original. But, also, because of human social issues - people do not like dealing with failures.
But, also, not everything is science. So I expect things to fragment somewhat - there's the political patronage side of things, the engineering practicality side of things, the scientific reproducibility and extension work side of things, there's the artistic merit side of things, there's the historical perspectives side of things, there's the health benefit side of things, there's the accounting verification side of things, and so on... People who can tie into widespread support will tend to do well regardless (think: football, for example). Others... well, I think it's going to depend somewhat on the discipline. I don't think the peer review system is going to just go away, but I think it's going to be seeing some different competition... Working code (github contributions, perhaps) might be one example of this. But computerized platforms tend to come and go far more quickly than the printed page. Mostly, I guess... anything involving people tends to need concerted effort to deal with. This was probably not a useful answer. -- Raul On Mon, Mar 5, 2018 at 6:11 PM, Ian Clark <[email protected]> wrote: > I've given up writing for Vector.
