Suppose a work (a book with abstract math research) is presented as LaTeX source under a copyleft license available at a public Git hosting service.
Will scientists be reluctant to cite such a work, because it was not published "officially"?
Having asked this question, I mention that in my opinion that publishing under copyleft in a Git repository is a better means to hunt errors than traditional peer review, because everybody can track and patch errors in the book. But will this real security convert to enough sense of security of academic community?
