# ResearchHub Docs The scientific record is too important to be hidden behind paywalls and in ivory towers. Science should be open: not only for reading, but also for reusing. ResearchHub, and by extension ResearchCoin, are designed to accelerate the pace of scientific research by encouraging academics to interact in a fully open and collaborative manner. These docs will describe the ResearchHub platform, ResearchCoin, the impetus for the creation of both, and the intended impact on the scientific community. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.researchhub.com/researchhub-docs.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
