IRS990/Desc0The Foundation continues to observe increased engagement on its primary platform, PubPeer.com, with an increase in comment volume from approximately 55,000 in the fiscal year 2023 to 72,000 in the fiscal year 2024. This growth underscores the platform's expanding influence and utility in the scientific community.This year, we focused on increasing subscriptions to our dashboard alerting service, which helps publishers and institutions stay informed about developments related to their scientific publications. We also on-boarded a new developer and began rewriting a key component of our website to enhance the subscription service. These improvements aim to facilitate the tracking and addressing of weaknesses in the scientific record, furthering our mission to promote transparency and accountability in research.
