What you can do here
One account for all of it. Everything you do as an individual is free.
Write together
Write with co-authors in real time, with version history. Keep datasets, charts and files beside the draft, and share what you choose.
Publish
Submit, review and edit as an author, reviewer or editor. Journals run on their own domain with peer review, and every article gets a permanent DOI through Zenodo.
Meet
Free webinars and seminars on every account. With a workspace, conferences add paid registration, double-blind review of abstracts and papers, QR check-in, badges and certificates.
Teach and learn
Take courses at your own pace, with a certificate when you finish. With instructor access, publish your own course in chapters and follow your learners’ progress.
Connect
A profile that imports your publications from ORCID and Google Scholar. Follow colleagues and journals, message them, and keep a calendar that syncs both ways with Google and Outlook.
Run your own
Universities and research departments can run their own Scholardemia, with their own name, domain and admin, bridged with the wider network or kept gated.
What we promise
- We don’t sell advertising.Nobody pays to be put in front of you. Organisations pay for the tools they use, and that is how Scholardemia is funded.
- We don’t rank what you see.You see what the people and journals you follow share, in the order they share it.
- Journals here don’t charge authors.No article processing charges, on any journal that runs on Scholardemia.
- Your domain stays yours.It is registered in your organisation’s name, and it goes with you if you leave.
How Scholardemia is paid for
No advertising and no charges to authors. This is all of it.

Why we built it
Academic work is spread across too many places: drafts in one tool, reviews in another, events in a third and conversations in email. We bring them together so that less of your week goes on admin and more of it goes on research, teaching and the people you work with.
