I would assume (but you know what that does) that the paper in ArXiv is there to help with the replication process.AKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905636789614137068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522311.post-33914787606919691422011-09-29T08:36:02.641-04:002011-09-29T08:36:02.641-04:00The sense that I've gotten is the physics comm...The sense that I've gotten is the physics community is more 'open science'-based than other fields (especially biomed fields), to some extent because they can be (specialized approaches/instruments few others have) and need to be (specialized approaches/instruments few others have ;) ). Although no one has mentioned the lack of peer-review, I do think it's important that (at least in articles I've read) that the investigators have posed it as, "Hey-this is completely unexpected. Tell us we're wrong. Provide alternative explanations. Repeat the experiments if you can." It lends the impression that this is about finding the answer, not selling their story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
