"ScienceMatters - Publishing platform for single observations in science"
by Lawrence Rajendran

ScienceMatters (www.sciencematters.io) is the first platform for scientists to publish single observations and not fully developed stories. By eliminating the need to tell full stories, and favoring simple data-based observations over story-telling, we eliminate the current pressure to tell sexy stories. This also reduces the negative incentives associated with publishing in high-impact journals, namely to come up with data that must fit the big storyline, since it is this narrative pressure that in some unfortunate cases can lead to fraudulence. Therefore, ScienceMatters brings honesty and speed to scientific publishing and helps the science community to produce robust and better results. The platform is open access and allows scientists to get the unique opportunity to publish peer-reviewed single observations with the integration of cutting-edge social media features, thus engaging the community to provide post-publication review both by the experts and other scientists/readers. ScienceMatters will thus incentivize honest science by: single observations, data driven science and real-time publishing; lowering threshold for publishing; paid peer-review, short peer-reviewing process and fast dissemination of knowledge.
