@thegautamkamath Makes complete sense, would lead to a lot of accountability from the author's side. I wont be comfortable posting work in which I do not have a very high degree of confidence
@thegautamkamath Potential negative side effect: papers get judged based on the affiliations of their authors. This could be detrimental to newcomers and lesser known institutions
@thegautamkamath reviewers & AC/editor as well! if they know their names will be attached to a published paper they might avoid doing a shitty job.
@yoshitomo_cs imagine having your name permanently attached to your takes. half of academia would retire overnight
@yoavartzi It would at least be a useful signal for me personally
Radical proposal: if you want to submit your work for review by other humans, it must first be publicly and permanently posted somewhere with your name on it.
@thegautamkamath As in on arXiv? This ship has sailed a decade ago ... meaning: few care
