Readers now evaluate the value of research

At the end of every work, readers choose one of six reactions, from "Negative emotions" (-100) to "Brilliant, I want to apply this" (+500). If a reader does not choose, reading time proposes a value: 0 for leaving at once, +20 for a quick look, +100 for at least five minutes. The proposed value is always visible before it is recorded.

• A researcher's value is the value readers received from all of their published works.
• Experts earn value for review work: +300 for an approval, +200 for a request for changes or a decision not to publish, +50 for a comment in the expert discussion.
• Anyone signed in can give a people's rating of a researcher with a comment. Experts review these ratings, and accepted ratings change the researcher's people's value.

Authors never rate their own work. How value is evaluated.
