The scientific record is too important to be hidden behind paywalls and in ivory towers. Science should be open: not only for reading, but also for reusing.

What is ResearchHub?

ResearchHub's users are rewarded with ResearchCoin (RSC) for publishing, reviewing, criticizing, and collaborating in the open. Once earned, RSC gives users the ability to create bounties, tip other users, and gain voting rights within community decision making.

ResearchHub and ResearchCoin are maintained and improved through a partnership between the ResearchHub Foundation and Researchhub Technologies, Inc. - Together, we are a collection of skeptical, yet optimistic individuals who want to accelerate the pace of science.

We think the incentives of scientific funding and publishing are broken, and that blockchain can help.
