About
A movement to democratize science through decentralization.
DeScier exists to break down the barriers between discovery and the people it serves: across funding, infrastructure, and publishing.
Our mission
To build the open infrastructure for every stage of the scientific endeavor: funding, experimentation, and publishing: and to make that infrastructure accessible to scientists, citizens, and communities everywhere.
Our vision
A world where the best ideas, regardless of where they come from, can be funded, tested, and shared at the speed of human curiosity - with full ownership preserved for the people doing the work.
Manifesto
Six principles we hold
Open by default
Knowledge is a public good. Closed-by-default is a bug, not a feature.
Authors own their work
No one should give up rights to publish their own research.
Reviewers deserve credit
Peer review is real labor. We make it visible.
Reproducibility is the standard
Methods, data, and instruments must be inspectable.
Funding follows merit, not access
Where you went to school shouldn't decide what gets funded.
Science belongs to everyone
Citizens, students, and communities are part of the endeavor.
Join the decentralized science movement
Whether you publish, fund, or run experiments: DeScier is building the open infrastructure for the next era of science.
