What is DeSci Publish?
Publish is an open-source research software where scientific research is published, validated, and curated without paywalls or publication charges. It unites manuscripts, code, and data in one convenient place, making best open science practices easy.
Publish also enables community-owned diamond open access journals that can publish data, code, manuscripts or everything. It's the first publishing solution for versionable research objects that can support any file types. It's also the first publishing solution for science that leverages web3 technologies.
Easily publish your research
On Publish, you can create submission packages with data and code that improve journal publication chances. You can also upload all milestones of your research project over time to create a fully traceable record of how you reached your results. For example, start with an analysis plan, add first data and code later, then add a manuscript, and keep updating all files over time without overwriting the original version. Never forget where you left things off, and get credit for your work long time before you publish in a journal. When you're ready to submit to a journal, click on "create submission package" and receive a DOI for your research object. Open science has never been so easy and rewarding!
Persistent and interoperability
The Internet was not invented to preserve content for a long time or to ensure its accessibility. That's a problem for the scientific record. DeSci Publish solves these issues.
Based on the CODEX Protocol and IPFS, DeSci Publish uses free-to-use open-source software that cannot be bought or shut down. All content is stored on an open peer-to-peer network that cannot be censored and that enables data sovereignty: Any participant in the IPFS network can pin content from Publish on their servers or devices.
Every version of every file gets an automatic, free, persistent identifier that protects against link rot and content drift, making all content on DeSci Publish findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) by design.
This new model for persistent identifiers allows you to build versionable research objects for every part of your research, rather than sharing only the final manuscripts. Each research object is indexed, and you can easily update your work in Publish without overwriting earlier versions or breaking any links to the code or data. Never lose files again or forget where you left off.
More than manuscripts
DeSci Publish is code, data, more than 50 million manuscripts, and unique analytics - all on the open peer-to-peer network for scientific publishing. No more juggling between repositories, preprint servers, and Github. No more paywalls.
Build professional websites with no-code
Stand out by sharing data, code, and a history of versions, creating a transparent track record of how you reached your results.
Get publication credit for data and code
Claim open-data or open code badges that, once verified, give you automatic credit on your ORCID profile for having published a dataset or piece of software. Get DOIs for all your work.
Never worry about storage
100 GB of free storage space for each researcher.
Update published versions of your research
Research is always evolving - let your publications evolve with updated insights and iterative research processes by re-publishing your papers with updates. Old publications remain available in their original form.
Claim verifiable badges
Verified badges highlight characteristics of your research that were
checked during peer-review.

The success stories
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 allows her to create interactive links between her paper, data, and code.
Megan Ansdell
Astrophysicist at NASAAtharva 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 to where the data lives.
