The deScier Community is a vibrant, interconnected network of scientists from diverse fields and backgrounds, united by their commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and transforming the traditional publishing landscape. By bringing together researchers, editors, reviewers, and other stakeholders, the deScier Community fosters an environment of collaboration, innovation, and shared success.

  1. Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing

At the core of the deScier Community is a spirit of collaboration and knowledge sharing. By providing a platform for scientists to connect, exchange ideas, and engage in interdisciplinary research, the deScier Ecosystem facilitates the creation of new scientific insights and fosters synergies between research areas. Through this collaborative approach, the deScier Community aims to accelerate scientific progress and drive the discovery of novel solutions to global challenges.

  1. Decentralized Governance and Decision-Making

The deScier Community embraces a decentralized model of governance, empowering its members to have a direct say in the platform's development, policies, and priorities. By distributing decision-making authority among community members, the deScier Ecosystem ensures that the needs and interests of scientists are at the forefront of its operations. This bottom-up approach to governance ensures that the platform remains agile, responsive, and aligned with the ever-evolving needs of the scientific community.

  1. Fair Recognition and Incentives

The deScier Community is committed to providing fair recognition and incentives for its members, ensuring that researchers are adequately compensated for their contributions to the scientific publishing process. By leveraging blockchain technology, the deScier Ecosystem can offer financial rewards for editorial work, peer review, and other essential tasks, helping to address the imbalances and inequities present in the traditional publishing model.

  1. Emphasis on Research Integrity and Quality

The deScier Community places a strong emphasis on research integrity and quality, ensuring that the published research meets the highest standards of rigor, validity, and reproducibility. By fostering a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement, the deScier Ecosystem helps to safeguard the credibility and trustworthiness of the scientific literature.

  1. Global and Diverse Representation

The deScier Community is dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusivity, ensuring that scientists from all backgrounds and regions have an equal opportunity to contribute to and benefit from the platform. By removing barriers to entry and democratizing access to scientific publishing, the deScier Ecosystem aims to empower researchers from traditionally underrepresented groups and promote the development of local research capacities.
