Could the reddit model replace the current scientific publication system?
The reddit model works as follows. Users who sign up on reddit are given four abilities:Links and comments that receive a higher score (score = upvotes minus downvotes) are ranked higher in the queue when people view the list of links on reddit. Typically high-scoring links are only ranked high for 24 hours after they are posted, after which time they rapidly decline in the queue.
- submit links
- comment on links and other comments
- upvote links and comments they think are constructive, and
- downvote links and comments they think are unconstructive.
