  1. Journal articles are hardly read.
  2. It is hard or sometime impossible to understand a journal paper unless the reader is from the same discipline.  

A study reveals a shocking statistic that in the year 2015, 150000 approx. research papers are been published in different journals. Out of which 50% are never read by anyone apart from author, referee and editor and 90% are never cited.

Hence this social networking site is trying to shoulder the responsibility to spread the knowledge acquired by researcher after lot of hurdle and let be utilized for development of world.
