Example 1 – CENTS for Solving some Science Problems
misuse of peer review for selection of papers
low vitality congresses
academic path pressures

Appraisal of Sciencehow much is worth a piece of
knowledge, a craft, or a paper?
ask pals for help
they, in fact, peer review it…
more peer-review than ever!

Open Questionshow to encourage accomplished
scientist to mentor younger and new ideas
It is about transfer of [scientific] wealth
How to create contracts, loans and mentoring
dynamization: taxes?

Open Questionstest citation auctions in real congresses and
journals
make agreements to create the (citations) currency
so far…some people think it is a crazy idea
others think it will surely work but introduce capitalism to knowledge, what is very bad!
