Ask HN: Why are we hanging on to anachronistic academic paper formats
Academic papers are not only dense to read because of the technical content, but the format/layout of the paper i.e. the 2 column format with the distinct table styling etc isnt a very user friendly/approachable look. Is there a good reason why this doesnt change? Is it just that academics dont value aesthetics? 5 comments on Hacker News.
