ResearchHub Inc has developed a platform (www.researchhub.com) that leverages token incentivization to facilitate open science best practices in the realm of publishing, peer review and science communication. \n\nThe ResearchHub Foundation is leveraging the ResearchHub platform to host and manage paid peer review through a curated set of around 20 editors/peer reviewers who provide detailed review of pre-print articles. One of the largest issues in traditional academia is this vestigial system of journals and antiquated system of peer review. This limits the accessibility and speed of scientific information being disseminated by months to years. \n\nAdditionally, the ResearchHub Foundation recently hosted a reputation hackathon which helped lay the foundation conceptually for a DeSci wide reputation algorithm. Currently, in traditional academia a researchers reputation is defined by a univariate algorithm based on citations. Although this is 1 important aspect of an individuals reputation, ResearchHub Foundation believes there should be a multivariate approach to better encompass what a researchers reputation is including success in funding, how reproducible is your work, attendance and participation in conferences and other important newer DeSci native activities.

Specifically, we believe that incentivized peer review, particularly on pre-prints, alleviates one of the larger issues of traditional science. Second, from an infrastructural level DeSci currently lacks a robust reputation algorithm that more appropriately encompasses both off-chain and on-chain activity. A reputation algorithm, ultimately generating a reputation score, could help non-traditional academics and citizen scientists establish a reputation and credibility without the need for \u201ccitations.\u201d Finally, we hope to help connect the dots with traditional academics and DeSci projects, as well as continue to help educate traditional scientists on the new ecosystem being built out in DeSci.
