The DeSci Journals
**A platform for decentralized scientific journals.**
#What problem we are solving 
*The DeSci Journals* will empower collaborative creation of scientific publications, leveraging web3 principles and technologies, through our platform's digital cooperative model. These communities and their peer-reviewed publications will maintain 100% of their copyrights, share gains and monetize the work of their highly skilled content creators, such as scientists, and technical professionals. 
Nowadays, Science Authors have 0%, yes zero percent, of their copyright from legacy publishing houses. Together these publishing houses generate as much revenue as the music industry, i.e., 26 bi USD/ year. We will change all this. *The DeSci Journals* is a starting point for Authors to be in contact with a new form of publishing and financing their scientific and technical work.
#How we are solving 
By creating an alternative to a perverse oligopolistic scientific publication industry which generates 26Bi USD/ year. In this industry, authors (scientists, professionals and, scholars), reviewers and most editors (also scientists) do not get paid for working in the peer-reviewing process of papers for science journals. Authors: 1) pay for publishing, 2) pay for open access and moreover, 3) have their copyright expropriated. Universities, research institutions and companies pay shockingly high annual subscription fees so that alumni and staff have access to journals.
Scientific publishing houses and science journals have outrageously high publication fees. These fees range from 2 to 6k USD for 1 paper, some charge 10k-15 USD/ paper. Open access is another 2-4k USD. Currently, it is right to say that the scientific publication industry hinders the advance of human knowledge. 
Paying attention only to their profits, legacy scientific journals: 
•	act as filters to what they believe is high quality research worth publishing, 
•	use high rejection rates which are uncoupled from merit, significance, and quality, 
•	take a long time from submission to publishing, 
•	undermine the expectations of the scientific community and the development of the human society.
