Excerpt: We propose replacing peer review with an auction-based
approach: the better the submitted paper, the more scientific
currency the author will likely bid to have it published. If the
bid correctly reflects the paper’s quality, the author will be
rewarded in this new scientific currency; otherwise, the
author will lose this currency. We argue that citations are an
appropriate currency for all scientists.1 We believe that citation
auctions will encourage scientists to better control their
submissions’ quality. It will likely also inspire them to prepare
more exciting talks for accepted papers and to invite
discussion of their results at congresses and conferences and
among their colleagues. In the long run, citation auctions
could have the power to greatly improve scientific research.
