What is ScienceEcosystem
ScienceEcosystem is an independent, open-source platform designed to bring together the essential parts of research — papers, datasets, code, peer review, and funding — in one connected environment. It makes research discoverable, verifiable, and useful to everyone while respecting provenance and authorship.
Why it matters
Scientific information is fragmented. Paywalls limit access, research outputs are scattered across multiple systems, and the value of work is often measured by where it is published rather than what it contributes. ScienceEcosystem addresses these problems by focusing on clarity, transparency, and open access — allowing researchers to build upon each other’s work without barriers.
How it works today
- Unified search. Discover works, authors, and institutions via open APIs such as OpenAlex, with direct links to original records.
- Personal library. Save and organise papers, export to reference managers, and build private or public collections.
- Researcher profiles. Automatically generated public pages highlighting outputs, topics, and affiliations.
- Open access first. If a free version exists, ScienceEcosystem surfaces it by default.

Who it is for
ScienceEcosystem serves researchers, students, educators, institutions, funders, and anyone seeking trustworthy scientific knowledge. Whether you publish, fund, or simply read research, this platform helps you connect the dots.
Core principles
- Open by design. Built on open standards, open data, and open collaboration.
- Integrity and provenance. Each record links back to its verified source, including retractions, versions, and datasets.
- Practical innovation. Features are developed to solve real researcher needs.
- Community stewardship. ScienceEcosystem is built with and for the global research community.
Roadmap
- Phase 1 – Foundation: Search, researcher profiles, and personal libraries (active now).
- Phase 2 – Collaboration: Open peer review, working-group projects, and shared research materials.
- Phase 3 – Infrastructure: Integrated funding records, provenance graphs, and reproducible research workspaces.
The roadmap evolves with input from users and partners.
Get involved
- Researchers: Explore the platform and share feedback.
- Developers: Contribute to open-source components.
- Institutions and funders: Support sustainable, public infrastructure for open knowledge.
