ScienceFair 1.0.6

Why ScienceFair?

How we access, read and reuse scientific literature is largely controlled by a few vast publishing organisations. This is holding society back.

Many wonderful innovations are being explored outside those organisations, but they are rarely integrated into the platforms where people actually access science.

We have a vision of a different, better, future for science. A future that's more fair, inclusive and open. A future that makes it easy to innovate and explore and where users control and customise their experience.
