My understanding is that @bonfire is about federated components and #OpenScienceNetwork https://openscience.network/ is in the early stages of a using those to build a federated science network, aimed at hosting citable work.

I think ORCID and DOI's have been a good step forward. Journals such as ETNA in my field have loosened the grip of the big journals, SIAM remains inexpensive and well respected. SSRN, arXiv and friends are getting worse, though. Academia.edu and ResearchGate feel too much like LinkedIn, too centralized, too much low-quality algorithmic recommendation.

Personal home pages and department pre-print archives (a la Web1) still do the trick, I source from those a lot. I think having federated components to use for those would be a win. It might make the review/feedback loop a little better.

I'm outside of academic research, kinda doing my own thing, but could see my firm setting up an #OpenScienceNetwork node for things that we can collaborate on.
