Sciety Discussions

Your research. Your community. Your rules.

About

Sciety Discussions is a researcher-led space for open, meaningful conversations about early-stage research. Powered by Bonfire, a federated social networking toolkit to customise and host your own online space and control your experience at the most granular level, it puts you in control: of who you engage with, how you moderate, and what matters to your community.

Sciety surfaces the discussions as part of the preprint history on sciety.org, ensuring your contributions to preprint dialogue are discoverable and part of a growing ecosystem that values openness, transparency, and researcher voice.
