Book Review: Making Nature
Great read.<p>Things are already changing, but very slowly and almost imperceptibly if you look at it day-to-day: Public research repositories like arxiv and biorxiv, along with public code repositories like github and gitlab, are becoming or maybe already are the world&#x27;s most important academic &quot;journals.&quot;<p>All research and code posted on them gets a quick once-over; good work gets the attention it deserves; bad work is quickly ignored. Reviews take place over the Internet via both public and private forums.<p>Gatekeeping power lies more and more in the hands of a global, distributed scientific community open to anyone willing and capable of doing and reviewing the work. It&#x27;s fabulous IMHO.
