The short answer is yes, but not immediately after kick-off. We need to build a functioning economy, with both solid supply and demand flows, for new research to be published directly into new journals linked to the Aiur repository of validated research.

Before that happens, and as contemplated in the project’s milestone roadmap, users will be able to submit existing research, including preprints, for inclusion in the validated research repository. These user submissions will complement initial self-started efforts to test all available open access research articles for inclusion.

We will also focus first on introducing a Journal of Alternative Approaches (JAA) to cover research with approaches that are innovative, show potential, and are backed up by facts and experiments – as regular published articles – but do not necessarily beat  the state-of-the-art.

Research, including failed results, that passes the quality checks of the Knowledge Validation Engine will be included in this repository. Benefits of authored research inclusion range from prestige and visibility to receiving token compensation as the research is deployer by other community members via the Knowledge Validation Engine.
