Dan Goodman<p>So what would it take to publish a paper here on mastodon and do public peer review? Just an agreement to use a few hashtags like <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Paper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Paper</span></a>, and in replies things like <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/PeerReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeerReview</span></a>, <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Accept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accept</span></a>, <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Revise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Revise</span></a>, <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Reject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reject</span></a>? Some automatically generated web and pdf output summarising the thread? Submission to something like Zenodo to give a DOI? Linking user accounts to orcid to verify identity? Only real problem I see is that even with markdown and LaTeX, Mastodon posts are not well suited for longer posts with multiple figures etc. Maybe fine for short results though?</p>
