  Journals are such a scam. Pay us so we can charge other people to read your work

    I get that it’s a fee to safely archive and copy papers properly, with maybe access control and logging. I don’t see the fees updating with the times , even if they’re still maintaining archives with paper copies as well.

      Elsevier and Nature Group are for-profit. That is the problem. Once profit is involved, morals and ideals go out the window

  I’ve got a notebook I use to doodle cad designs and record measurements. I am constantly temped to put in a page of gibberish just in case I become the next Da Vinci, so generations of people will waste their time tying to decipher it.

    some group of nerds in the future: “ok but this is rumored to be the MATHEMATICALLY BEST POSSIBLE parametric drawer organizer. If we can break the file encryption, humanity will become so effortlessly organized that we’ll shave centuries off of becoming a space-faring species.”

  I love that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s notes are on display in the library at Cambridge (if I remember correctly). The man is hands down one of the greatest men to have ever lived. I was so happy when The Man Who Knew Infinity came out. He deserves his place alongside Leibnitz, Newton, Gauss, Einstein, al-Khwarizmi, and too many others who contributed more to our world than 99% of humanity will ever know.

  I imagine this would be the most efficient way to do science if it weren’t for the effectiveness of collaboration that, regrettably, demands the presentational overhead.

    What if there was a bunch of lemmy instances for scientists to post journals on and the other scientists could up/downvote and roast the other scientists work publicly.

      I’m down. Honestly, hard to do worse than the publisher scam we’re railroading now.

      I’ve had this idea that we should have server dedicated to people just putting their research. Other people can review and get responses/improve it. People new to science and students can reproduce the results and validate them. And of course we can have upvotes system (i worry about this as everyone have same weight of vote seems dumb, so maybe everyone gets points for contributions and votes are based on the person’s credibility/points).

      Our current system is too expensive and only profitable to journal systems. We could make a system where people can donate when they submit a paper and the money goes to reviewer/server/papers they cited, etc. and we lack reproducing results because there’s no credit, giving credit for that would encourage learning and make sure papers are reproducible. If a lot of people tried and can’t reproduce it, we can doubt the results.

  I do this to myself but it’s digital notes in Obsidian.

  • ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I set up a build server for my obsidian notes. Push changes to GitHub, Jenkins picks it up, turns it into a website, and deploys to another server. I’m running into an issue though the tool I use to turn it into a website is abandoned. Might have to roll my own 😔

      Roll your own conversion script to change the notes format into one of the maybe half-dozen new doc manipulation tool suites that hook right into gitlab (and GitHub if you must).
