About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of requiring author identity verification for manuscript submissions and explores related themes in academia and professional sports.
We discuss whether preprint servers and journals should require author identity verification for submitting manuscripts. This would probably speed up the submission process, but is this worth the potential downsides? We also discuss the similarities and differences between academia and professional sports and a weird case of author identity theft.
