Meet RepuCoin: The Best Pupils Develop Their Academic Reputation Over Time

Oh, I love being in research. One minute you are scratching your head about a solution to a problem, and then you read a paper, and it moves your thoughts on another step in your journey in the discovery of new things.

Every teacher will know that a good and trusted pupil will develop their academic reputation over time. A student who works hard and always produces correct answers will be trusted in the future to do the same. A pupil who has a poor attendance record and who produces poor outputs, will often not be as trusted to perform a given task. A weak pupil who produces amazing work will often come as a surprise. We do the same with academic research, and where researchers publish papers over time, and these build up their esteem within their field.

And so on the Internet, reputation increasingly means something. A person who just appears on Twitter with 10 followers is likely to be much less trusted than someone who has 10K followers, and who tweets each day. If a person also has a blog, and a YouTube channel, and has published in reputable publications, each of which has some form of continuous output, their identity will often be highly trustworthy, and their opinions are more likely to be taken seriously than someone who has just set up an account.
