You make an excellent point and I’m intrigued by the idea of what an alternative paper publishing method could be. I like your idea of clarity on the peer review process, since this is so misunderstood by so many people.

I wonder if a searchable platform like Substack would work for publishing nonfiction works as separate from opinion or fiction. The ability to sort based on topic or follow an individual or group would be great as would allowing comments to be easily available for criticism of the work. The authors could have the option of responding to the comments or amending the work with changes being tracked like a standard word document. Not sure how it could be made to discourage junk science or corruption though.
1,000 LIKES for you, Soraya! What a great idea, have non-fiction section on Substack - it could be just for scientists who have submitted articles for people to read and learn about their work. They could also charge, just like writers on Substack now do, $5 a month or so and independent scientists could fund their work that way. If I found a scientist whose work I admired, for example, I could support him with any amount of $ per month and be able to read all his articles, thereby getting to know alot more about him and his work. Scientists would have sponsors so to speak. One of the things my scientist husband has pointed out is that there are no more independent scientists, they are dependent on universities (who are almost all woke libs with no real science) or govt agencies, who are mostl if not all, corrupt. This way, any independent scientist pursuing free energy for example, could do their own research from their garage and still have money to live on and continue their research. I do believe you've hit on an EXCELLENT idea, thank you, Soraya!!!!
