Here is another piece by the author "Reproducibility, replicability, and the two layers of computational science " https://thewinnower.com/papers/reproducibility-replicability...

Sorry! Will do.

Will email you! Thanks for responding.

Thanks! First time seeing this.

Can include this advice if you let me know your name and affiliation. :)

Software engineers should write at thewinnower.com. Here's why:

1) their writings will be preserved with the same power that libraries afford traditional scientific publishing

2) They wont just be blogging, they will be publishing.

3) They can assign a digital object identifier (DOI) at their discretion making their work "count" in the scholarly literature.

4) Their blog will be automatically formatted as a PDF.

Agree. Our friend of mine makes 35k at UCLA!

Would love your opinion on The Winnower (thewinnower.com), a new science publishing platform I launched this year (I am also cancer researcher at Virgina Tech). We'd be happy to publish any of your blogs or writings on your experiences with Indysci.

Your story is similar to mine. I am a current PhD student (finishing this semester) and founder of a new startup, The Winnower (thewinnower.com), that aims to centralize academic blogs and make scientific publishing more transparent.

Readers may also be interested in reading the "Open Letter to The American Association for the Advancement of Science" (https://thewinnower.com/papers/open-letter-to-the-american-a...)

An interesting article on the U.S. Army’s Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Program was published today. Wonder if this money is being well spent! https://thewinnower.com/papers/a-critical-examination-of-the...

Thanks! I thought this was the case. It may be an interesting idea to start an accelerator that pairs developers with non-developers. I think there would probably be some benefit there to both groups.

Thanks, this is an example of what I was looking for. We are an independent scientific publisher (thewinnower.com) and we want to ensure our users that we will not give over control to giants like Elsevier or Sage, should we ever get to that point. Kind of like Mendeley and Elsevier(http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2013/04/elsev...)

How much should we charge?

Short answer: No

"To our delight, almost none of the reviewers and editors recognized the manuscripts as ones recently published by their journals."

This is precisely one of the reasons The Winnower (where it was published) was founded. Peer review is becoming increasingly shown to be faulty at identifying mistakes. It is better at holding back controversial or unorthodox ideas, which are what ultimately drive science forward!

You should sign up and review the paper itself! https://thewinnower.com/papers/searching-the-internet-for-ev...

The piece is more about the publishing process and less about time travel. See a direct quote from the author:

"First of all, the topic itself is a controversial one, as made clear immediately by the work's title "Searching the Internet for Evidence of Time Travelers" (Nemiroff & Wilson 2014). It is perhaps accepted common knowledge that people who believe in time travelers are crackpots and their ramblings are not to be believed. For the record, I do not believe that traveling back in time is possible, nor do I believe that time travelers are among us."

It has already been published in The Winnower: https://thewinnower.com/papers/searching-the-internet-for-ev...
