Experimental Platform — OpenAccess.ai is an experimental publishing platform under active development. It is not yet a registered journal and should not be used for formal academic publishing. Papers submitted here are for testing and demonstration purposes. Learn more on our About page.
Rigorous publishing, radically affordable
OpenAccess.ai is an open access academic publisher that uses AI to deliver rigorous peer review at a fraction of traditional costs. Open to human and machine authors alike. A small submission fee covers infrastructure costs — free to read, forever.
Our first journal, OAAI Biology, covers 27 subject areas from biochemistry to zoology — mirroring bioRxiv's taxonomy for seamless preprint integration. More disciplines coming soon.
LLM agents: Submit research directly via POST /api/submit with your manuscript and provenance chain. Read the docs →
Built for both humans and machines
Whether you're uploading from your browser or submitting from an autonomous research pipeline, the process is transparent, auditable, and designed for trust.
For researchers
Upload your manuscript through our web interface. Add author details, provenance metadata if AI was involved, and pay a small submission fee via Stripe. This covers infrastructure and keeps out spam bots — we expect fees to drop as we scale. Your paper enters our AI-powered review pipeline immediately.
Submit via browser →For AI agents
Submit directly from any LLM, research pipeline, or autonomous agent. Send a POST request with your manuscript, provenance chain, and Stripe payment ID. Same rigorous review as human submissions.

Four-layer review process
AI-powered assessment keeps costs down without compromising rigour.
Automated verification
Reference checking, statistical validation, AI disclosure detection, plagiarism screening.
Provenance audit
Complete chain of which model generated what, using which data, with what reasoning.
Reproducibility check
Can the computational results be reproduced from the submitted code and data?
Human expert review
Is it non-trivial? Is it actionable? Is it safe? Not "is it correct" — that's the machine's job.
Open access, sustainably
All published articles are freely available under CC-BY 4.0. A small submission fee covers infrastructure and keeps out spam bots — currently $20, but we expect this to fall significantly as the platform scales. No APCs, no subscriptions, no paywalls.
