At The DeSci Journals platform, we practice both main eligibility criteria:
1. User-Centric Design and Functionality: Projects should prioritize the development of applications that offer exceptional user experience, accessibility, and practical utility in the Web3 space. The goal is to make tech easy and beneficial for everyday users, bridging the gap between complex innovations and their practical application.
How? By applying most of the web2 flow extensively learned and used. The platform works in the web3 ethos, as a digital cooperative for example, and are yet to incorporate smart contracts for its version 3 and 4, which we will do by applying transition designs and abstracting deeply any complexity of blockchain technologies.
We practice 100% copyright for Authors. Industry standard is zero %.

We use a 1-page with simple and straighfoward submission flow for both articles https://platform.desci.reviews/summary/new-document and journals (recently developed and deployed in version 2) https://platform.desci.reviews/summary/new-journal which is a new much simpler feature when compared to pages long used in traditional scientific journals. We made adding wallets optional.

2. Innovation in Application Use Cases: Projects should explore and implement new and novel use cases for applications within the Web3 sphere. We're interested in projects that push the boundaries of what's possible, showcasing the versatility and expansive potential of Web3 technologies to address a wide range of needs and opportunities
How? We have introduced features such as the percentage of authorship, which can include laboratories, institutions, funding agencies, companies and DAOs, transforming the publication process to accurately reflect and quantify the individual contributions of authors and collaborators as a percentage, thereby transparently showcasing the effort invested by each party in the depicted paper.  We will publish papers as NFTs (and push forward a secondary market formation). The DeSci Journals empower Authors with the choice to opt for open or paid access, including the ability to determine the pricing structure, with funds directed straight to the author's wallet(s). By using The DeSci Journals as platform for their technical and scientific publications which includes events, communities will not only capitalize on its technical merits but also tap into a flourishing ecosystem that aligns with a broader vision for the future of scientific communication.
Lastly, we have already onboarded 3 communities: 1) LexDAO with its LexClinic to publish the Journal of Legal Engineering-JoLE; 2) Augmented Limitless with its Biohackers Protocols; 3) Mushroom Protocol with The Mushroom Journal.
We will initiate discussions with other potential communities to explain the details of our technical and scientific paper publishing solution using percentage of authorship, open and closed access and, papers as NFTs.
Understand the specific needs and features required, will pave the way for targeted Alpha tests within science and technical niches.
