The value of research should flow back to its authors.

For too long, researchers have supplied the ideas, the writing and the peer review, only to face expensive publishing charges or see their work placed behind subscription barriers. SciRepo rejects that bargain. Authors pay nothing to submit and publish. Readers pay nothing to access and use the work.

Our digital-first model is supported by carefully managed advertising. Rather than extracting value from researchers, it creates a path for value generated by attention to return to the people whose research earned it.

The usual publishing equation asks researchers to fund the system at every turn: through subscription budgets, access fees and article processing charges. SciRepo turns that equation around. Advertising revenue funds a free publishing and reading experience, and is designed to ultimately create author payments for published contributions.

This is the heart of SciRepo: scientific authors should not merely supply the value. They should share in it.

We assess manuscripts on the strength of their methods, analysis and scientific integrity — not whether a result appears fashionable, dramatic or commercially attractive. That means space for negative results, replications, incremental advances, niche questions and ambitious multidisciplinary research.

When valid evidence enters the record, science gets stronger. SciRepo is designed to make that record more complete.

We are building a lean, high-volume publishing ecosystem for researchers everywhere. AI-assisted editorial operations, automated checks and streamlined peer-review workflows reduce administrative friction so rigorous work can reach readers faster, without compromising standards.

This is not a smaller version of the old model. It is an invitation to build a better one together.

We are not there yet. SciRepo is an early-stage startup taking on legacy publishing houses that have spent decades charging researchers and institutions extraordinary fees for work scientists themselves create, write and review.

Our immediate promise is free submission and free access. Our longer-term ambition is more radical: as SciRepo earns readership, attracts advertisers and builds sustainable advertising revenue, authors should share in the value their articles generate. Reaching that point will take traction, trust and a large community of researchers willing to build a different model with us.

We will be transparent about the journey. Author payments are our direction of travel—not a benefit we can responsibly claim to offer today.

Your study does not need to be sensational to matter. If it is careful, transparent and scientifically sound, it deserves to be discoverable. Submit your manuscript, share your evidence and help create a publishing system worthy of the research community.
