We select only the best research papers for their quality of work and the progression they bring.### Improving lives is the only end goalToo much research is done for research sake. We believe that improving lives is the only end goal and that research is only relevant when it has an impact on human lives.### Increasing the social impact of scienceWe recognise that a great research paper is not enough and that it requires development, mobilisation, and exposure. So we promise to set agendas, create context, inform leaders, start debates, and advocate for the idea that research can and will make a difference.The same call, in code.
