ResearchHub is a platform that allows anyone to directly fund preregistered scientific studies. Our goal is to promote the creation of open, reproducible and impactful research. Our process is much simpler than applying for traditional research grants. We ask applicants to submit a 2-4 page preregistration (proposal) that includes: * Background
At ResearchHub, our mission is to open and accelerate science. Unlike traditional journals where editors assign reviewers, ResearchHub allows qualified reviewers to self-select papers, creating an open marketplace for peer review. This community-driven model fosters transparency, faster feedback, and broader participation in the scientific process. This guide will walk you
With the launch of ResearchHub v2, we've introduced a powerful new feature: the ability to fund scientific research directly through preregistrations using ResearchCoin (RSC). This marks a big step forward in how science is funded: fast, transparent, and aligned with open science values. Traditional grantmaking is notoriously slow
ResearchHub pays you for peer reviewing preprints. If you don’t find a peer review grant that suits your expertise or identify a preprint you’d like to review, you can request a grant to be assigned. Follow these 5 steps to request a grant to review any preprint. Step

ResearchCoin (RSC) is a digital token that rewards high-quality scientific research. In technical terms, ResearchCoin is a digital asset built on the Ethereum blockchain–an ERC20 token. In our vision, it is a new digital asset for the global scientific community. Not only does it have value–it represents a
Every day, thousands of research papers hit the shelves, each vying for attention in an already overloaded system. Recent bibliometrics reveal that scientific publications have surged by 8-9% annually, for decades. In biomedicine alone, over a million papers flood the PubMed database each year—roughly two papers every minute (Nature,
Is science held back by funding? According to 270 scientists surveyed by Vox, the answer is a resounding yes. They see financial limitations as one of the biggest barriers to breakthroughs (Belluz et al., 2016). The quest to find funding for research in modern science is often riddled with obstacles.
Despite billions of dollars being poured into scientific research each year, much of it never sees the light of day. Groundbreaking discoveries often remain buried in academic journals, accessible only to a small circle of scientists. Meanwhile, the world outside the lab struggles to benefit from these advancements, and industries,
Academic publishing is a cornerstone of scientific progress, yet the traditional journal system is riddled with inefficiencies that slow down the dissemination of knowledge and impose significant costs on researchers.
