       For accessibility reasons, arXiv is starting to publish HTML versions of papers. https://info.arxiv.org/about/accessibility_html_papers.html  🧵#math #papers #openscience #academia #arXiv @brembs @lambo I think this is interesting and welcome, especially on mobile devices. It is not without problems to want to quickly check some fact on your phone, download the PDF, go to landscape mode, find the right location in the paper, zoom in, etc.1/4

       The promise would be that in HTML, everything is reformatted to look great on any line length.But there is a kind of integration attack going on: Once we have the HTML version, why not enhance the paper with things PDF can't do? After all, HTML5 offers limitless possibilities to make the 3D figures interactive, run simulations, have the examples to be toys you can play with, etc.Once these seemingly harmless new features are there, who would want to go back to the PDF version, which is a2/4

       static, cumbersome and arcane? Once we are there, we will definitely need versioning of publications because if papers become software, they will have bugs and need bug fixes. I feel very insecure about this future. I am unhappy with how static and old-fashioned it is of us, to stick to this A4-PDF-paper format, for documents which are consumed on laptop and iPhone screens, and it never really fits and scrolling and zooming and whatnot.3/4

       On the other hand, I want to be done with a paper at some point. If publications turn into software, they will just need a lot of maintenance, forever. Maybe it can be solved with open-source culture, maybe future generations will take care of the bug fixing for my papers, but why would they and how would the get credit for this work in an academic system that only rewards new things and not the maintenance?So what do you think about HTML arXiv papers?4/4

       @zuphilip my point is not the mode of presentation or production, but rather if there exists such thing as a “final version”. How would #academia change if all research was published like software, release 0.11a_p2 etc. And then it’s a new discussion for super conservative fields like #math. We have some state of the art papers that are 50+ years.

       Ever wondered what a fake journal in #mathematics looks like?  Follow me down the rabbit hole.  I'll show you one that slipped on the slippery slope of #goldOA.  #openScience #math #fakeJournal #openAccess. 👇🧵

       @mk @radotter Ja, das ist eine super Idee, weil Kinder für ihre Entwicklung andere Kinder brauchen und in der KiTa die Möglichkeit haben sich in der bunten Gesellschaft zu bewegen.Großer Respekt und Dank an alle Erzieher:innen da draußen.

       Leute, jeder Euro für das Zentrum für politische Schönheit ist gut investiert. Die haben ein Holocaust Mahnmal vor Björn Höckes Haus gebaut, tonnenweise #fckafd Flyer nicht verteilt und von Nazis geklaute Bundeswehrwaffen aufgespürt.Dafür werden sie von einem eifrigen Staatsanwalt verfolgt: https://politicalbeauty.de/vorladung.htmlDas ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt und als Komplize bekommt man wirklich 1A Goodies. :blobdab: 🤟
