This is a linkpost to https://coda.io/d/Public-Database-of-Research_d7VdSLeCrpi/Unjournal-Research-with-potential-for-impact-database_suCwXMPL#_lunMtjpm

I don't think I posted this here yet and wanted to make sure people are aware of it. Please let me know what you think, how you might use it, how we can make it more useful, etc. 

26 Sep 2024 – added 'filter bars' 

Why are we sharing our database?

The Unjournal commissions and promotes the public evaluation and rating of research with potential for impact. We mainly cover applied, quantitative social science (see ‘what do we cover’).

• Research enters our pipeline in a few ways:  Authors can submit their work, people and organizations can suggest research (or ‘pivotal questions’), and our Field Specialist and Management Teams monitor for recent work with impact-potential
• Next, our team systematically prioritizes this research to commission for expert evaluation and rating.
• Finally, we publish a package of evaluations and ratings on our PubPub page (and in the bibliometric ecosystem)

Because we’re committed to transparency and providing public goods, we’re sharing a live database of “research in our pipeline” below.  This may be useful to:

1. Anyone interested in engaging with The Unjournal (e.g., authors looking to submit their work, researchers and PhD students interested joining our evaluator pool) who wants to get a better sense of our focus
2. Researchers, students, and professionals exploring research topics, approaches, and paths (e.g., Effective Thesis students), focused on having a measurable impact
3. Organizations, funders, and policymakers interested in reading and using recent research
   1. Who may want to suggest ‘pivotal questions’ and research relevant to these

4. People who want to do Independent Evaluations for The Unjournal (a new initiative)
