Could you say something about your methods of deciding originality and significance? One of the problems with figuring something like this out is that LW and mainstream academia often use significantly different jargon. It may be that LW will be unhelpful here because in order to work out what's original and significant, you'd have to be an expert both in LW stuff and in mainstream academic discussions.
