About The Unjournal

The Unjournal commissions rigorous, public peer evaluation of quantitative research — especially in economics, policy, and social science — that informs global priorities and the most effective interventions for improving lives.

We don't "publish" papers. We provide journal-independent evaluation: expert assessments with quantitative ratings, all publicly available. Authors keep full control.

Why does this matter? Traditional academic publishing is slow, expensive, and often misaligned with real-world impact. The Unjournal offers paid evaluators, transparent public feedback, quantitative ratings beyond binary pass/fail, and a process that works alongside traditional publication.
