Identify a small set of papers or projects as representative first-cases; use to help test the system we are building in a concrete manner.
In doing the above, we are also collecting a longer list of key papers, projects, authors, topics, issues, etc.
Steps taken
Post on EA Forum (and other places) and present (see view at bottom of this section) promoting our call for papers further, with bounty.
2. Search for most-cited papers (within our domain) among EA-aligned researchers and organizations.
3. Dig into existing lists, reviews, and syllabi, such as:
GPI (includes many posed questions)
Open Philanthropy (needs updating? few academic links)
Consider: "Mistakes" pages?
(mainly operational mistakes)
5. Appeal directly to authors and research groups
6. Cross-promote with
Pivot: direct focus on NBER working papers
Pete Slattery: "Do a complete test run using a single paper and team…" Thus, we aim to identify a small set of papers (or projects), maybe 2–3, that seem like good test and example cases, and offer a bounty for projects we choose as test cases.
Note that much of the work identified here has already been peer-reviewed and "published." While we envision that The Unjournal may assess papers that are already published in traditional journals, these are probably not the best case for the PoC. Thus, we de-prioritize these for now.

Not very relevant because focused on operational issues
