DeSci Labs was founded in July 2021 in Switzerland. Our goal is to accelerate scientific progress by making research more accessible, innovative, and reliable. Achieving this requires a fundamental rethinking and rebuilding of the scientific publishing process, including better incentives, workflows, and infrastructure.
We build an open-access publishing environment for versionable research objects that allows all research outputs—including data and code—to be easily shared, checked, updated, curated, and archived.
Our technology is radically open, FAIR by design, and ensures that best open science practices are incredibly easy and rewarding. Through our partnership with OpenAlex, we integrate all open science content into our environment and provide valuable, unique analytics, starting with novelty scores.
DeSci Labs was started by scientists for scientists. Since our inception in 2021, we have grown to a team of 16 engineers and scientists.
DeSci Labs is a software R&D company building the open science infrastructure of tomorrow. In 2024, after raising $6.5 million in seed funding, DeSci Labs was first to successfully build a fully open access science publishing infrastructure based on Web3 technology, DeSci Publish.
Publish allows scientists to share, access, and interact with research without paywalls or publication charges on an open peer-to-peer network that enables data sovereignty and ensure long-term persistence. Publish makes open access articles more engaging by adding valuable analytics and by allowing authors to add data, code, and other research outputs.
Publish enhances scientists' chances of getting their work published, increases the impact of their research, and simplifies the adoption of best open science practices. Moving forward, Publish will redefine open access journals and peer review, while also creating incentives that reward high-quality validation and curation of scientific content on the network.
