RE: Connecting Steemit, scientific research and academia?
This is a perfect market for Steem. Academics are paid in reputation generally and don't have a clear way to monetize. Here a good research paper or even proposal is likely to be rewarded. I am not sure we have the critical mass of authors yet. That will take time. However disciplines of interest to the 50k steemians should get traction now.
That's exactly one of the point I was trying to make with my post. The 50k steemians may be interested by very specific ideas or research fields, and then upvote those. However, how can it be judged by those 50k people that the scientific content of the proposals is good science?
Steem could help academics, but maybe in a slightly different way? Peer-reviewed is important, IMO.
