Expertini Research exists because access to knowledge should not depend on institutional affiliation, publication budgets, or geography. Our mission is straightforward: make rigorous research freely available to anyone who needs it, from the moment it is ready to share.
The problem is not a shortage of research. It is a shortage of access. Across the world, researchers are producing work of genuine value — in universities with limited budgets, in companies whose findings never leave internal SharePoint folders, in the notebooks of independent scholars who lack institutional affiliation and therefore lack a publishing home.
Traditional academic publishing was built for a world of physical journals and postal peer review. The infrastructure it created — subscription paywalls, article processing charges that can exceed £3,000 per paper, editorial queues stretching twelve to twenty-four months — made sense in that context. It makes considerably less sense in an era when a preprint can be uploaded, indexed, and cited within 48 hours of completion.
Expertini Research was built to close that gap — not by replacing peer-reviewed journals, which serve an important function, but by ensuring that the period between completing research and making it available to the world is measured in hours rather than years.
Expertini began as a recruitment and labour market platform — and that heritage informs our particular interest in AI, HR technology, and the economics of work. But Expertini Research is not a niche repository. We host research across nineteen disciplines, from physics and neuroscience to philosophy and arts and media studies.
This breadth is deliberate. The most consequential research often happens at disciplinary intersections — computational linguistics informing labour market analysis, behavioural psychology informing AI system design, environmental science informing economic modelling. A repository that covers only one field cannot capture those connections.
We welcome preprints, peer-reviewed articles, theses at all levels, conference papers, working papers, technical reports, white papers, case studies, data papers, review articles, and registered reports. The breadth of output types reflects the breadth of how knowledge is actually produced and shared across different research communities.
We measure success differently from traditional academic researchers. We are not optimising for journal impact factors or subscription revenue. The questions we ask are different ones.
Every paper published here is a step toward a more open, more equitable research ecosystem.
