I imagine this would be the most efficient way to do science if it weren’t for the effectiveness of collaboration that, regrettably, demands the presentational overhead.
What if there was a bunch of lemmy instances for scientists to post journals on and the other scientists could up/downvote and roast the other scientists work publicly.
I think it would work nicely if each public university had their own instance. Since it’s government owned, it would be illegal for them to censor other scientists. I guess if the public university web was big ebough, they could make private universities and other institutions agree to be censorship free, plus moderation would be transparent and in the open. Not sure how moderation would work exactly, it should be fairly self regulating if users are exclusively credentialled experts with real names attatched to their accounts.

I’m down. Honestly, hard to do worse than the publisher scam we’re railroading now.
