I think this discussion is a bit too abstract. It could be helpful with concrete examples of non-academic EA research that you think should have been published in academic outlets. It would also help if you would give some details of what changes they would need to make to get their research past peer reviewers.
This model is a fully-fledged analysis by an “EA-research” team that would probably gain interest and scrutiny by academic researchers in economics and artificial intelligence. It even has, despite the fact that it is not published in any conventional research outlets that would be picked up by search machines.
I think it could be uploaded to arXiv with little to no change. I think this would greatly enhance the viewership and reach of the research.

I just stumbled across this post:

Which I strongly think would be of interest outside of the small bubble that is EA. It should be published as a pre-print or review article.
Thank you for your comment. This is a good point. I thought it was obvious, but it indeed isn’t. A perfect example would be:
