What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Comments on Science is a free and public user-generated database of scientific comments. Commenting on papers in academic journals is a complicated process, with many steps between an idea for a comment and the appearance of that comment in a (mostly closed-access) publication. The goal of Comments on Science is to reduce this friction and enable accessible and free scientific communication. About the site: I decided to build something useful in the month of May and this is what I made. It has a few features like following (users, papers, or comments), tagging, voting, etc. It was a nice exercise in everything from idea generation to deploying on a web server. So, what do you think? Do you have any suggestions on what to improve or which features to add or maybe even remove? I welcome all ideas and please don't be hesitant to criticize, input is input is input. The site is accessible at: http://cos.juretriglav.si
