Publishing is broken… so we’re trying something new

We're creating a dynamic system where science thrives, objectivity is centered and “impact” can evolve. Be a part of this groundbreaking shift: a transparent, community-driven platform for storing and assessing discoveries. Together, we'll transform the way we share and curate science! Sign up here to join the pilot.

You can read about The Bigger Picture, but first we’ve got to test it.

Testing Our System

We developed a pilot to evaluate an estimated 50-100 immunology pre-prints with “peer improvement review”—reframing peer review as an opportunity to make papers better—while also quantifying a paper’s quality and impact through a transparent scoring system. Ultimately we will compare the scoring results to where the pre-prints are eventually published, while also assessing speed, and author and reviewer satisfaction.

The ultimate goal is to implement this new reviewing paradigm as part of a community-led, journal-free space, where science will be evaluated and curated by and for scientists: Discovery Stack/Discovery Curator.
