The Unjournal is making research better by evaluating what really matters. We aim to make rigorous research more impactful and impactful research more rigorous.
Today's research evaluation process is out-of-date, it discourages innovation, and it encourages rent-seeking. We provide open, rigorous evaluation, focused on what's practically important to researchers, policy-makers, and the world. We make it easier for researchers to get feedback and credible ratings of their work.
We currently focus on quantitative work that informs global priorities, especially in economics, policy, and social science. Click on the cards below to find out more about our mission, organizational structure, and ways to collaborate, or 'ask or search our page' for answers to your questions.
