PaperScore

PaperScore is a small, four-employee company based in Austin, Texas. They operate as a decentralized academic journal and publication platform. PaperScore offers a unique service in the academic publishing world. Their platform utilizes a proprietary algorithm to replace the traditional editorial board review process. Authors can submit manuscripts from any discipline, with a particular focus on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies. This platform aims to address perceived biases within traditional academic publishing by providing a space for diverse research findings. The company's key differentiator lies in its decentralized approach to peer review. Instead of relying on a static board of editors, PaperScore's algorithm randomly selects potential reviewers based on the manuscript's content. This process leverages the "small-world phenomenon" to connect manuscripts with appropriate experts within a relatively short chain of referrals.
