https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2022.0463 via @royalsociety: The ideal of self-correction in science is not well served by the current culture & system surrounding amendments to published literature. This paper describes how amendments could work with an author-led version control system #SORTEEjournalclub
@sortee @royalsociety great to promote paper versions but #arXiv already does that. It is customary in math and some other disciplines to do minor updates there. And you can do major ones if you like too. Surely #EcoEvoRxiv can help since it is also a #postprint server. Probably more suitable for literature corrections than GitHub (which is definitely useful for code correction, but not enough alone).
@FredBarraquand @sortee @royalsociety I think this, along with Registered Reports, could be an excellent path toward improving many of the systemic issues with academic publishing. Any thoughts on integrating these two approaches?
