# What is ResearchHub?

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoZDaTX4OBM>" %}
Introduction to ResearchHub
{% endembed %}

[ResearchHub](https://www.researchhub.com/)’s users are rewarded with [ResearchCoin](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/researchcoin) (RSC) for publishing, reviewing, criticizing, and collaborating in the open. Once earned, RSC gives users the ability to fund scientific research, request services, tip other users, and gain voting rights within community decision making.

ResearchHub and ResearchCoin are maintained and improved through a partnership between the [ResearchHub Foundation](https://www.researchhub.foundation/) and Researchhub Technologies, Inc. - Together, we are a collection of skeptical, yet optimistic individuals who want to accelerate the pace of science.&#x20;

We think the incentives of scientific funding and publishing are broken, and that blockchain can help.
