They also claim that rogue scientists could praise and criticize research in an unfair, un-objective way. But copious empirical evidence indicates that open online communities—including those dedicated to scientific research—have an incredible capacity to self-regulate.Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman’s recent online publication of a proof of the Poincaré conjecture—a century-old question...
