         | would analyse the authors of the paper and their previous track
         | record, but it feels somewhat unfair towards the new/young
         | academics?

         | Super curious about your thoughts.

       | up-voting papers without... well... actually citing them.

         | try to scrape the scores from the scirate and integrate it to
         | ekoAcademic?
