About
The problem it solves Scientific research is a vital activity that drives societal development. However, the current scientific system faces numerous challenges that impact researchers themselves and hinder access to academic environments at certain universities. Attracting research funding encounters various difficulties due to several reasons. One of the reasons is the competitive nature of writing funding proposals. This process can demand a significant amount of time and effort to complete and may not always yield successful results, causing distractions for researchers as they focus on financial matters. In addition to funding, restricted access to scientific information is another significant challenge affecting modern science. With private databases and controlled subscription-based websites, a large portion of scientific data remains inaccessible to the public, especially students and independent researchers Evaluating scientific articles also faces difficulties for various reasons. One of the primary reasons is the challenge of finding reviewers, and their efforts often go unrecognized or are inadequately compensated. Additionally, the evaluation process can be complex and lack proper organization. Sharing data and research methods can also be challenging due to issues of security, ownership rights, or concerns about data misinterpretation resulting from a lack of transparency in the publication of research findings.
