The Unjournal seeks to make rigorous research more impactful and impactful research more rigorous. We encourage better research by making it easier for researchers to get feedback and credible ratings. Currently, we focus on quantitative work that informs global priorities, especially in economics, policy, and social science.

We analyzed where Unjournal-evaluated research is hosted: 39% SSRN, 30% NBER, half on 2+ platforms.
