DeSci Nodes
Power your journal with the open science infrastructure of tomorrow
Scale your impact, not your IT
Everything in one place
Qualified referees at your fingertips
Fast track peer-review
Focus on what matters
Reach new communities
Unlock new opportunities
It's never been this easy to launch a new journal
A better submission experience for your authors, finally
Authors can easily upload data, code, manuscripts, and any artefacts of their research in a unified interface served directly on your website. No more submission flowcharts, or juggling between GitHub, data repositories, and external sources, leading to a far better experience for your authors. Once ready, authors can publish their work openly and submit directly to your journal or conference with a single click.
Improve and accelerate peer-review
Experience multiplayer reviewing in context. Create interactive peer-review reports that extend beyond the manuscript. Set the visibility and openness of your peer-reviews conversations together with your authors and referees. The system is designed to fast-track peer-reviews, eliminate cumbersome email exchanges, and give credit to every participant in the curation process.
Curate research for quality
Editors issue badges that attest to the attributed your curated research: open code, open data, computational reproducibility, peer-reviewed, editor's choice - you name it. With Nodes, you can open the black box of peer-review by making explicit the type of curation services that your scientific community values.

Integrate the DeSci stack
Your website, made simple
Embed an interface on your website that allows your audience to interact with all artifacts of research, not just manuscripts.
Storage, taken care of
The data is securely stored on a distributed network, protected from content drift, and resilient against link rot.
PIDs and Metadata, solved
No more URI:DOI tables to maintain or complex metadata standards to comply with. This is taken care of.
Atharva and Marco created a fully reproducible, data heavy publication containing over 18 terabytes of open data. Without Nodes, this breakthrough dataset in fluid dynamics would have remained in his lab's internal servers. Nodes made it possible to easily import parts of this dataset with a single line of python, or send a containerised compute job directly where the data lives.
Alkes and his lab were sharing terabytes of genetic data with their community. The popularity of the dataset caused egress bills to skyrocket, limiting their ability to share it for free. This data is now available to anyone via Nodes, enabling edge compute without egress fees. Other scientists can now re-use this data without the need to move it around the globe.
Megan turned her PhD thesis into a Node primarily to share her code with the astrophysics community. During her thesis, she took a lot of care to make her work reproducible. With Nodes she finally has a medium to showcase this effort and share the outcome with everyone. Nodes allowed her to create interactive links between her paper, data, and code.
We are scientists and engineers building tools to make knowledge more accessible and verifiable. We envision a scientific record without data silos, content drift, paywalls, and proprietary analytics.
