Researchhub: GitHub for Science
aRxiv &#x2F; bioaRxiv &#x2F; medaRxiv  exist, are free and are backed by extremely well known names and institutions in the scientific community. They do not require some random coin, you can just, well, upload a preprint of your work.<p>They also did the hard work on making sure journals will accept papers uploaded to there.<p>Maybe they don&#x27;t have a flashy website but I would much much rather use those than upload my work - which I have invested years of my time + thousands or millions of dollars in - to some random site with founders who are just &quot;from San Francisco&quot;.<p>For those trying to &quot;accelerate science&quot; - please try to take even a modicum of time to understand how science is even being done currently and start from there, instead of making up solutions to problems that don&#x27;t exist.
