"Better" science today means reproducible science. AstroRG forces a best practice: every new author’s preprint page includes mandatory fields for linking to GitHub, GitLab, or Zenodo. Readers and reviewers can instantly check your code – no more "code available upon request" (which nearly always means "never").
Unlike the early days of unedited Usenet posts, new authors often utilize modern writing tools and community feedback loops to ensure better grammar, pacing, and narrative structure.
The term new authors refers to writers who have and have begun publishing at least a handful of pieces on the site. Highlighting them is useful for several reasons:
For the new author, better means shorter nights, less anxiety, and more citations. For science, better means diversifying the voices at the table—allowing brilliant minds from small colleges or non-traditional backgrounds to break through the noise.
