CLUSTER PUBLISHING-ACADEMIC-AUTHORS · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-07-21

Academic publishing platforms

This cluster comprises multi-tenant platforms for academic publishing, handling submission, peer review, publishing, and reader access, with some adding book catalogues, payments, or multilingual support. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, with only two dated entries before the index start, so it likely predates the index or has undated members. Traction is led by scholarhub with 2 stars, while ArticleFlow and pku-author-platform have none.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 10 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
