Building a better place for researchers

It's shocking because, we are currently building a platform for researchers in which the publishing cost goes down by thousand times while giving same amount of citations, downloads and recognition.

That's why we are doing all these research surveys on the first place.

We ran a Reddit survey, and the results are shocking:

publishing scientific papers is prohibitively expensive.

💸 $3K – $7.5K for open access in reputable journals

🔥 Top journals (e.g., Nature) charge $9K+

🚫 Even mid-tier journals cost $2K – $4K

PhD students rely on lab grants, while independents pay out of pocket.

📚 Science is becoming pay-to-publish, blocking access to knowledge.

We need decentralized, affordable publishing.

While I am reading an article about DeSci on medium, I found something interesting.

📉 Young scientists are being left behind.

In 1980, 20% of NIH grants went to researchers 35 & younger. By 2014? Just 1%.

Meanwhile, funding for 66+ scientists keeps rising.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing but without support, young innovators leave science—taking their fresh ideas with them.

We’re losing the next generation.

It's not just one source, it's a collection. But here is the link to the doc

While studying "Challenges and Timelines in Traditional Science Academia", I found something significant.

This table clearly shows that traditional publishing has some serious bottlenecks.

The main reason for the bottleneck is the unpaid peer review process.

This data clearly illustrates the significant time investment and variability associated with publishing research in different academic fields. #DeSci #Science #Publishing #Research #Academia
