The problem
The quantum of publishable research is too large!
Perhaps five years from concept to publication
Lots of information doesn’t have a publication home (small results, negative/null results, germinal ideas)
Too much science is tied up in people’s heads for too long
How can we make science more efficient?

The solution
More rapid, more open, briefer communication
An open access Journal of Brief Ideas (CC-BY)
Each idea limited to 200 words/one figure
Each idea has a DOI and permanence, so is citable and attributable
Not peer-reviewed but post-publication rated
Like papers used to be 100 years ago!

The platform
Build the functionality of a journal on top of the figshare platform, which provides permanence and DOIs. They have an API through which to operate.
A minimal model involves submission, citation, search

Big issue: Discoverability
Discoverability: How do you find good ideas among all the ideas in the journal?
Multi-prong approach: Rating system, reputation system, recommendation engine
