About

We are building a better public interface for research.

Academic research contains some of the most important knowledge in the world — but its primary destination format was built for a different era.

Origin

Papers are essential, but they are not designed for public understanding, interdisciplinary readers, media workflows, or modern web sharing. OpenProof was created to bridge that gap: to turn papers into living, structured research explainers that keep evidence visible and make responsible communication easier.

Why now

AI can read, structure, and transform dense documents. Research is increasingly shared online before, during, and after formal publication. Public trust in science depends on better communication, and institutions need faster workflows. Static PDFs do not support multi-audience understanding well — and they were never meant to.

Research deserves to be understood. But understanding should not come at the cost of rigor.OpenProof
