Demokratiska akademiska tidskrifter
En metod att skapa mer demokratiska journaler presenteras i Journal of New Democratic Methods: An Introduction skriven av John David Funge. (Jag tror att det är rätt person Uppdatering. Det är samma person: samma emailadress.)
Abstract:
This paper describes a new breed of academic journals that use statistical machine learning techniques to make them more democratic. In particular, not only can anyone submit an article, but anyone can also become a reviewer. Machine learning is used to decide which reviewers accurately represent the views of the journal's readers and thus deserve to have their opinions carry more weight. The paper concentrates on describing a specific experimental prototype of a democratic journal called the Journal of New Democratic Methods (JNDM). The paper also mentions the wider implications that machine learning and the techniques used in the JNDM may have for representative democracy in general.
Från Conclusion
One of the biggest challenge to the success of the JNDM is obtaining participation from qualified people. This is a classic chicken and egg problem and hopefully the paper you are now reading will help to interest people. The more widely it can read the better.
Even if people begin signing up to the JNDM and submitting articles it will still be a challenge to encourage people to review and rate articles. It may be necessary to institute incentives to encourage people to actively participate. For example, users should probably not be allowed to read another submission until they have submitted their review for the last one. Similarly readers could be rationed to only being able to read a fixed number of articles without submitting any ratings. The danger is that a small number of enthusiasts end up doing all the reviewing with little or no feedback from the larger readership.

Welcome to the Journal of New Democratic Methods (JNDM). The JNDM is currently only available as part of a beta release and limited test. We don't have details on when the JNDM will be made more widely available, as that depends in part on the results of the test.
