Why Existing Research Publishing Falls Short
The three barriers blocking independent researchers from getting recognition
Publishing Takes Forever
Traditional journals take 6-12 months for review. What should take minutes takes months, delaying your career progress and impact.
Prohibitive Costs
Article Processing Charges (APCs) of $2,000+ create an unfair barrier. Many researchers fall for predatory journals out of financial desperation.
Institutional Gatekeeping
Your work either lacks credibility (blogs) or faces excessive gatekeeping (journals). There's no middle path for independent validation without institutional backing.
Knowledge Deserves Accessibility
Valuable research remains unpublished when financial, institutional and technical barriers restrict who can contribute to science.
