ResearchHub is a collaborative platform designed to accelerate scientific progress by making research more accessible, interactive, and rewarding. It removes traditional barriers in academia by allowing researchers to openly publish, discuss, and collaborate on scientific work. A key innovation of ResearchHub is ResearchCoin (RSC), a blockchain-based incentive system that rewards contributions and encourages community-driven decision-making.
Key Contributions:
UI/UX Design & MVP Development – Created an intuitive interface to simplify research discovery and collaboration.
User-Centered Iteration – Designed and built new features based on ongoing user feedback.
Incentivized Contribution System – Integrated RSC mechanics into the UX, allowing users to earn, tip, and create bounties.
Hubs for Research Topics – Developed a system where research papers are grouped in “Hubs,” acting as live, evolving journals.
Data-Driven Insights – Designed dashboards and analytics to track engagement and reputation scores.

Problem Statement

Problem Statement
Problem Statement
Traditional academic research is slow, inefficient, and often inaccessible due to:
Long publishing timelines (3-5 years to publish in journals).
Paywalled research limiting access to valuable knowledge.
Lack of collaboration between researchers across disciplines.
Limited incentives for peer review and knowledge-sharing.
ResearchHub aimed to disrupt this outdated model by creating a GitHub for Science, where researchers could openly share findings, collaborate, and be rewarded for their contributions.
