3Maybe we can agree on something like this for a standard. I don't see why traditional journals are better than GitHub repositories to publish papers. In this case I'd upload the LaTeX sources to the repository and provide a link to the PDF. I'm seriously thinking about doing this, there is even some review process, and reviewers can open issues in the repository :-m This would be free for authors and provide open access, promote collaboration, etc.– TrylksCommented Nov 11, 2013 at 18:50

2If the repo owner doesn't make their full name known, would you suggest using their GitHub user name instead?– NewNameStatCommented Aug 30, 2016 at 16:32

2No. I would search his real name for that username elsewhere.– Erkin Alp GüneyCommented Feb 8, 2018 at 8:50

2Some github users do not use their real name and make it very difficult to find it.– qwrCommented May 4, 2021 at 23:57

1@Trylks - realize your comment is from 2013, but the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) does all of their review on github. See github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/4368 for instance.– jkrCommented Jul 23, 2022 at 23:57

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
