§ 01 · The problem

Science works, but barely.

It's no secret — just ask any scientist. The system is antiquated, and science is suffering as a result. There must be a better way.

Traditionally
Peer reviewers aren't paid
Publishing takes years
Paywalls gatekeep research
Grants are broken
§ 02 · The solution

Imagine if we could redesign the entire system from the ground up.

These are some of the features you'll find on ResearchHub — the hub for open science, where researchers, funders, and the public meet to share and discuss research.

On ResearchHub
Peer reviewers are paid for fast, rigorous reviews
Research articles published openly — no paywalls, no delays
Funding opportunities are easy to find and simple to apply to
Capped indirect costs — more money to the actual experiments
