Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer
ResearchHub's mission is to accelerate scientific research by creating a platform for open collaboration, similar to GitHub for software engineering. It allows researchers to publish and discuss their work openly, using 'Hubs' as an alternative to traditional journals. The platform incorporates ResearchCoin (RSC), a cryptocurrency, to reward contributions and build reputation.
About ResearchHub
ResearchHub's mission is to accelerate the pace of scientific research by creating a modern mobile and web application for collaboration, similar to GitHub's impact on software engineering. It aims to function like a 'GitHub for Science,' providing a platform where researchers can publish articles and discuss findings in an open forum. Research papers are organized into 'Hubs' by research area, which function as live journals. To incentivize participation, ResearchHub uses an ERC20 token called ResearchCoin (RSC), which users can earn by sharing, curating, and discussing topics. All user-contributed content is shared under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0), ensuring it can be freely reused to advance science.
