With 50 Million Users, Is Academia.edu Speeding Up Science?

from Mendelspod Podcast · host Theral Timpson

Today we follow up with Richard Price, the founder and CEO of the most popular social sharing site for the academic sector, Academia.edu. When we talked to Richard almost five years ago, the site had 1.5 million users, mostly academics sharing their own papers so that their peers had access without any paywalls. Today the site boasts over 50 million users and serves as a laboratory for the future of academic publishing. This is a public episode.
