Research communication comes in many forms — traditional text based publishing cannot accommodate to all the needs of new, non text-based forms of communication. Audio-articles, also called pubcasts, are one such form. We’re happy to announce ResearchEquals is partnering with PubCasts to stimulate,  develop, and support the publication of audio-articles in our community.

In this blog, we explain what ResearchEquals Supporting Memberships are, why we are (re)introducing them, and how you can become an individual or institutional supporting member. It is clear to us that what we are doing with ResearchEquals is not a technological change, it is a social one — that means your involvement matters. What is a supporting membership? Supporting memberships are a community based approach to how ResearchEquals evolves.

Copyright is automatic: You create something and it will have copyright. This blog, just by writing it will have copyright. Even your doodles. It is the contract without paper trail. That also means: Without any intervention, nobody will be able to legally copy it. The interventions to make that copyright more workable are important in open movements. Such interventions provide the legal certainty to reuse whatever it is you are interested in.

We want people to know about ResearchEquals, so that they can use it to publish how they know, instead of what they know. Our launch in February 2022 gave ResearchEquals a boost, and now we wanted to try out something new: We dipped our toes into the marketing waters! In this blog I share how to run ads on the Berlin (or Munich) subway.

With our publishing platform ResearchEquals.com we are introducing a new business model for open access: Pay to close. We love open access - it is a massive part of why we even started building ResearchEquals. We also hear the scholarly community's issues with the business models of open access. As the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science summarizes: This inequity needs addressing.

This is a call for fellowship applications. Apply here. ResearchEquals is a new publishing platform for research modules, developed by Liberate Science. Instead of publishing entire projects as papers, researchers publish their process, sharing the building blocks of research continuously and in chronological order.

I am excited to announce that our publishing platform for research modules is going to be named ResearchEquals, launching on ResearchEquals.com (February 1st, 2022). We already announced that we are sunsetting Hypergraph after our initial experimental phase for publishing research modules, from which we learned some important lessons.
