Do journals provide sufficient contextualization for research?

Putting research in context

  • For technical reasons, publishing was historically a separate step, performed about once per iteration of the research cycle
  • Publishing every relevant bit of information immediately at each step is technically feasible now, and the remaining hurdles are cultural ones.
  • Wikis allow for systematic linking and thus enhanced contextualization (sidenote: some have argued that links are distracting)


Interwiki communication

if you assert something said in another paper, sod the citation, transclude the relevant text, with a full electronic citation allowing you to verify it.
