DeSci Labs is building infrastructure for the next era of open science
The nodes-lib library for programmatic publishing
We released an integration library for DeSci Nodes, which allows anyone to programmatically build and publish research objects using the Nodes application. It simplifies the creation of research publications by abstracting away a lot of low-level detail, such as constructing correctly formatted manifest files and handling pinning. The nodes-lib integration library is great for applications such as:importing large datasets,scheduling updates,porting publications from other sources,or automatic...

Autonomous Research Communities (ARCs)
Introducing ARCsExciting News! We've launched Autonomous Research Communities (ARCs) on DeSci Nodes! (1) ARCs are the centerpiece of our experiment in Scientific Publishing 2.0. With ARCs, we aim to expand the space of possible mechanisms for scientific curation, move beyond the black box of traditional peer review, and expand scientific communities' sovereignty. In their current form, ARCs bridge the gap between unreviewed preprints and journals, accelerating scientific progress by...

Researcher's Frustrations with Publishing
IntroductionOur team has been discussing the problems in scientific publishing and what needs to change. We had many personal experiences, anecdotes, and literature to build on. What we didn’t have yet was hard data from scientists to test our hypotheses and help us prioritize our product development. So, in January 2024, we conducted an online survey of 94 active scientists about their biggest frustrations with scientific publishing.ResultsScientists' number one frustration in our surve...
