About CyberLeninka
CyberLeninka is a small step of the NGO Association "Open Science" to build global cyberinfrastructure. We want to shift community from the web of information to the web of knowledge. Openness is the key to that process because information becomes knowledge when the majority of people perceives it without any borders.

Our principles
Dissemination of knowledge using open access: free, fast, permanent, full-text access to scientific and educational materials in real time
Most of the data is under the Creative Commons licenses, which enables free distribution and gives people the right to share and use the work
Open research infrastructure — Noosphere
On the global education market of $5 trillion, we aim to build the infrastructure uniting people all over the world who study and research into global knowledge ecosystem.
We believe that the new cyberinfrastructure will benefit from two promising technologies: blockchain and artificial intelligence which can help in solving many challenges in modern scholarly communication.
Adoption of blockchain will reduce transaction costs and lead to openness and universal accessibility of modern knowledge. Artificial intelligence will power academic search to deliver the most important new scientific discoveries to researcher and drastically reduce time to find them. Also, these technologies can help to increase trust and transparency, boost research and peer-review quality and speed, plagiarism detection, research evaluation and address reproducibility and publication bias issues.
If you are interested in our Noosphere project, want to participate or even fund it, feel free to contact us.
