Topic: Papermache: Comprehensive Interdisciplinary Academic Publishing Power Parity (Read 172 times)

Hi folks,

Papermache is an open access social academic publishing platform that for the first time expects to operate from donations made in BTC offsetting the subscription cost to libraries and institutions that use it. We allow researchers and students to legitimately share graded research papers and discoveries to establish a reputation under a creative commons attribution license making it easy for review and citation from their peers. We’ve made a number of developments in pursuit of comprehensive interdisciplinary academic research publishing power parity offsetting the traditional review and approve/deny process that journals use today. Most importantly is our quantified reputation that collects investment votes cast and received into a weighted moving average from comment annotations made on work that together with analytics on citations, views, etc. allow users to determine the value of peers and their work.

Donations to support Papermache are made thru our financing arm Elmhurst, a 501(c)3 that seeks to provide a reliable source of capital to historically disadvantaged universities. We are preparing to launch an ICO to scale contributions into a market with proper filings and in the interm will issue tax receipts.

Our build is live at www.papermache.fyi, we will be rolling out features like a citation generator in the most current styles, creative commons agreement, and analytics in the coming weeks. We have historic work from our first effort we will be reuploading soon. Have a look and report bugs and eventually publishing a research paper can be as editorially easy as publishing a website.
