About Us
Non-affiliated Publishing
To publish in the most reputable peer-review scientific journals as non-affiliated and sole author is almost impossible since you must declare your affiliation. OpenSci.World offers affiliation for scientific research and publishing for an insignificant yearly fee: you get an email as your.names@opensci.world and an official membership to a Canadian scientific research organization, based in Montreal, Canada. This email address will serve as a proof of your affiliation. In near future we plan to introduce a list of affiliates and link of their portfolios. This same method of affiliation was used by the founder of OpenSci.World (T.Pankovski) to successfully publish in Nature, Elsevier and other reputable peer-review scientific journals. If you an interested to obtain an affiliation with OpenSci.World simply send us an email to office@opensci.world (or scroll to the bottom of this page and submit the form).

Opening Access and Open Publication
The Open Access publication movement is quickly becoming a standard offer in the scientific journal menu. That greatly facilitates the access of the published papers, since the readers are accessing the publications freely - the fees (APC) are covered by the authors and their affiliated institutions.
However, the Open Access effectively disables non-affiliated, citizen scientists and researchers with no funding from publishing - on top of their personal expenses to finance the research, they face this expensive wall of publication fees.
We work toward abolishment of the APC fees for the:
- non-affiliated researchers
- citizen scientists
- researchers with no funding
IMPORTANT: At this stage we cannot help with avoiding the Article Publication Fees.
Affiliation
OpenSci.World is a proud spinoff from BrainExperiments.com which is also a non-profit scientific organization registered with the Government of Canada.
Although in its beginnings, our membership is growing and we already have journal and conference publications (see Publications page in the menu).
Disclaimer
For now, we can only open the door for you - it is up to you and your manuscripts' merit to pass through it into the world or published scientists.
In regards to obtaining Orcid.org profile - there are no constraints in Orcid.org for you to declare the OpenSci.World affiliation, once you get an email address with us.
