We just posted a preprint describing one of the core technical ideas behind Liberata, in replacing discrete authorship positions with continuous contribution shares, then combining those shares with weighted citation graphs to define "academic capital", a contribution-weighted measure of scholarly impact.
The broader goal is to rethink academic publishing around better incentives: more granular contribution attribution, rewarded peer review and replication, and graph-based metrics for impact, risk, concentration, and possible collusion.
We would love feedback from people interested in scientometrics, citation networks, peer review incentives, mechanism design, or open science.
