The Unjournal

The Unjournal is making research better by evaluating what really matters. We aim to make rigorous research more impactful and impactful research more rigorous.

The academic journal system is out of date, discourages innovation, and encourages rent-seeking.

The Unjournal is not a journal. We don’t publish research. Instead, we commission (and pay for) open, rigorous expert evaluation of publicly-hosted research. We make it easier for researchers to get feedback and credible ratings of their work, so they can focus on doing better research rather than journal-shopping.

We currently focus on quantitative work that informs global priorities, especially in economics, policy, and social science. We focus on what's practically important to researchers, policy-makers, and the world.

The Unjournal is a registered nonprofit; we don’t charge fees. Visit our knowledge base to learn more. See our evaluation packages here.
