The Schelling Point of Science: A Game-Theoretic Analysis of Token-Curated Registries in Scholarly Communication

Traditional academic publishing is experiencing an incentive failure. The value created by researchers is captured by centralized publishers, leading to the serials crisis and a lack of scalable validation.
