Dan GoodmanSo 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">#Paper</a>, and in replies things like <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/PeerReview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeerReview</a>, <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Accept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accept</a>, <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Revise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Revise</a>, <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Reject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reject</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?

RS, Author, Novelist, ProsaistHere's some <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/writingAdvice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingAdvice</a>: Create a list of problem words that flag problems in your writing as you <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/revise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#revise</a>.
