Speaking of conferences, might this not be the way to judge this work? You could imagine only orally defended work to be publishable, or at least have the prestige of vetting, in a bit of an old-school science revival.
Chicken and egg problem: since conferences have limited capacity, you need to pre-filter submissions to see who gets a presentation spot.
