    We just posted a preprint describing one of the core technical ideas behind Liberata, in replacing discrete authorship positions with continuous contribution shares, then combining…

    Agreed. Accountability matters, but changing the game usually scales better than hoping for better individual behaviour under the same pressures. Academia needs systems that reward…
