How ResearchHub Makes Open Science Rewarding by Reinventing Academic Incentives

What this episode covers

Welcome to another episode of the DeSci Podcast. Today, we were joined by Jeffrey Koury, Director & Business Development Lead at ResearchHub, and Jonathan Heppner, Marketing & Social Media Lead. ResearchHub is a platform designed to accelerate the pace of scientific research by providing a modern mobile and web application where people can collaborate on scientific research more efficiently. It aims to make scientific research accessible, collaborative, and prioritized for everyone. In this episode, we delved into the shortcomings of the current scientific research model and the need to make science open to everyone. Our dialogue centered on advocating for a shift from the traditional model towards a more inclusive and transparent system. Central to this shift is the necessity of building better incentive structures, which would drive collaboration among scientists and facilitate accelerated progress in scientific research.
