I was just thinking that something similar to this would be really interesting for reading/peer-reviewing scientific papers. Scientific knowledge is built atop of claims made in previous papers, each claim having its own statistical strength. It would be awesome if each footnote in a paper was not just a citation to another publication, but a link to the first time that claim was made, with its p-value and sample size prominently displayed.
- schwanray 8y agoThank you so much for this awesome post! We did think about scientific papers and journals but are not phd level scientists ourselves. We thought more in terms about how hard it is for journal writers to spread their knowledge to a broader audience. Your point is very interesting and novel. Really wish we could discuss further about it and possibly implement it! Please get in touch!
