Sci-Net

Open communication has always been a cornerstone of science. However, in the past 50 years it has been largely obstructed by high prices that prevent free flow of information and exchange of ideas, effectively blocking and preventing new groundbreaking discoveries in science and medicine.

Definition 1.1

Let Sci-Net be a new social network that will provide solution to that problem

When someone struggles to access paywalled research article, they can post a request on Sci-Net. The other member who have access through university subscription will solve the request by uploading a PDF file.

Theorem 1.1

Sci-Net provides the best approach for sharing and requesting research papers

Proof.

Sci-Net has numerous advantages when compared to sharing articles on social media or other similar platforms. The most straightforward is convenience: just enter the DOI, and Sci-Net will automatically check if requested paper is available in open access databases and repositories such as arXiv and of course — Sci-Hub.

Number of research articles available in public domain grows with Sci-Net usage.

Once the requested article has been uploaded, it will remain in the public domain forever, accessible to anyone for free and without registration.

Sci-Net provides true anonymity for uploaders: it does not ask for mobile phone number, or even email to register, and does not require to install an application.

Furthermore, it implements a range of algorithms to clear watermarks from uploaded PDF files, that can carry information about university or IP address that was used to download article fulltext.

Unlike traditional paper-exchange platforms that rely on member rating or direct payments, Sci-Net implements a new mechanism that employs decentralized tokens to reward uploaders.

The tokens can be exchanged from the platform and withdrawn, thus providing freedom for the uploader.

Tokens act as a protection layer to ensure that articles uploaded by users remain high-quality. Uploader will only receive tokens as a reward after the article was verified by user who requested it.

Sci-Net continues the tradition of Sci-Hub project in providing free, unsrestricted access to scientific knowledge.

Just like Sci-Hub, it will always remain censorship-resistant and clean, with no ads and no banners.

Instead of advertisements, Sci-Hub project has always been supported by user donations, and became the first project to adopt crypto currencies for funding of scientific projects. The largest one came previous year, when Sci-Hub received a meme coin named after it as a donation.
