  As a response to the trends of the increasing importance of computational
approaches and the accelerating pace in science, I propose in this position
paper to establish the concept of "science bots" that autonomously perform
programmed tasks on input data they encounter and immediately publish the
results. We can let such bots participate in a reputation system together with
human users, meaning that bots and humans get positive or negative feedback by
other participants. Positive reputation given to these bots would also shine on
their owners, motivating them to contribute to this system, while negative
reputation will allow us to filter out low-quality data, which is inevitable in
an open and decentralized system.
