Built by a student, because nobody built it for us.

The existing options do not fit. Traditional journals are built around institutional affiliation and often charge thousands of dollars in processing fees. Preprint servers accept almost anything, which means a preprint does not signal much on its own. Science fair archives vanish. And a growing number of “student journals” publish everything submitted, which helps nobody: if nothing is rejected, acceptance means nothing.

So EDA runs actual peer review. At least two human reviewers with subject expertise, plus an editor who can and does reject. Papers that are not ready get told exactly why, with a route back. Papers that are ready get a registered DOI, a permanent archive, and indexing where researchers actually search.

The AI layer exists because volunteer reviewers are scarce and slow, not because AI is better at judgement. Five specialist agents read every submission and write structured reports. They catch missing citations, statistical errors, fabricated references and integrity problems fast. Then a human reads those reports and decides. The reports are never binding and never hidden.

We are pre-launch: working toward nonprofit status, recruiting an editorial board, and building the review pipeline in the open. If you want to review, sit on the board, or partner as a school, we would like to hear from you.
