I'm a programmer – how can I help SciHub?

Re:I'm a programmer – how can I help SciHub? by ineedasername on Monday July 12, 2021 @08:06PM (#27816475)

I am basing my opinions on work at a small/medium publisher that had well know material considered essential in a variety of fields-- they were pretty high quality. This was a while back, though I know people that publish in fairly reputable places.

They did and do this sort of editing, so it may be, sometimes, a matter of journal quality. I don't anything gets into JAMA without that level of editing.

Anyway, that's what my opinions in this thread have been based on, but maybe I'm exhibiting selection bias by having experience primarily with a higher quality publisher.

I would like to think I publish pretty well for my field and access to resources (PNAS, Neuron, etc), but none of those journals have offered anything beyond word-level editing (e.g., change sec to s; replace `subjects` with `participants`) to match the house style.

I certainly didn't get any suggestions aimed at improving the readability of the text; those mostly came from coauthors and colleagues before submission, with a few more things flagged, in passing, by peer reviewers.

That's on the biology side of things. For ML, it's basically "Here's the doc class! Good luck!"
