Description
The Unjournal is seeking academics, researchers, and students to submit structured evaluations of the most impactful research emerging in the social sciences (see some of the research we've prioritized here, and our 'regular output' here).
Strong evaluations will be posted or linked on our PubPub community, offering readers a perspective on the implications, strengths, and limitations of the research. These evaluations can be submitted using this form for academic-targeted research or this form for more applied work; evaluators can publish their name or maintain anonymity; we also welcome collaborative evaluation work.
We'll offer incentives and prizes. By submitting an evaluation you help build a portfolio that we will use in considering you for further paid evaluation work.
_Kickstarter incentive: _After the first eight quality submissions (or by January 1, 2025 - whichever comes later) we will award a prize of $500 to the most valuable evaluation.
