Researchers predict arXiv will become a distribution platform as preprints move to GitHub

Astrophysicist DrDarkMatter argues that arXiv has become too slow and restrictive to serve modern academia as a preprint server. He predicts researchers will increasingly post work directly on GitHub—perhaps with DOIs—while treating arXiv as a distribution platform, almost like a journal. Notable researcher mjuric endorsed the take: "I think this may be right."
