Given the drama surrounding the arXiv for its dependence on Google and its recent ban on review articles in computer science, I have a question:
Do we still need the arXiv?
Wouldn't a federated network of institutional repositories be a much better option?
@hweimer Hey 🙂 I was just pointed towards your post because I'm building @encyclia, however I think the work of @jonny and team over at https://sciop.net is ultimately more relevant than mine.
Basically yes, most of us agree that we want a heterogenous landscape of interoperable repositories for research artifacts (articles, data, software, etc), and yes, some people are working on it.
