"Indeed it has been said that Democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." -Winston Churchill ----------- While I broadly agree that the dissemination of academic research can and should improve, it is not clear to me what will amount to a superior (while still robust) system. Nor does the article clearly articulate a viable alternative. The mathematical sciences have provided remarkable utility for the last 350 years in part because of the robust feedback loop of, 'hypothesis-experiment-disseminate'. I believe this, 'science is broken' hype is largely just that. No one throws out a codebase before a superior (and regression tested!) alternative is ready to be deployed. My 2 cents: 1) Let's push for publicly funded research to be made publicly available, regardless of what journal it was published in. 2) Let's think about incremental changes to peer-review that can improve dialogue and speed-up review times. Instead of waiting 6 months for a late paper reviewer to drop a series of comments in my lap, why not a wiki or github-like editing and annotating environment where we can (anonymously) generate comments and a fruitful dialectic. Then, let's include the comments (again, anonymously) with the paper. Show how the sausage is made-- scientists have little to hide. FWIW; I am a practicing scientist in the field of computational engineering.
