Let’s say I cited a “red” paper and explained how and why they were wrong. Does my paper become “orange”? I hope not, but that would require a lot of rigorous manual verification by the journal editors...



Ideally papers would start citing using a new format that makes explicit the dependencies between papers.

For example:

    refutes: ...
    expands on: ...
    depends on: ...
    alternative approach to: ...
etc.
