Hmm…. Removing peer review and self publishing turns his papers into blog entries. This has always been a concern about journals like PNAS where members can pay to publish - and their work was described as an ad. I guess this is helpful?
I'm probably drawing parallels here that someone who has a better understanding of the academic world could validate or reject, but.. it feels a bit like there are more similarities emerging between published research and published software.<p>Citations are somewhat similar to dependencies, and post-publication review (as mentioned by the tweet's author) could be seen as similar to code review.<p>(note: when I say "more" similarities emerging, that's because I think there's already a positive trend towards publishing code and datasets alongside research papers, aiding reproducible results)
