Executive summary: The Unjournal is an open platform for evaluating and directing attention to impactful academic research related to global priorities. It aims to address issues with traditional peer review by using public evaluation and incentives.

Key points:

1. Traditional academic publishing can be slow, exclusionary and promote gaming the system rather than iteratively improving research.
2. The Unjournal focuses on selecting and evaluating research relevant to global priorities based on potential real-world impact.
3. It uses paid expert evaluations, public transparency, financial prizes and linking to research rather than traditional publishing.
4. Overcoming collective action problems requires an innovative, externally-funded platform willing to gain credibility through quality work.
5. Progress includes establishing systems and a roadmap for scaling submitted research while maintaining evaluation quality.
6. Getting involved means submitting research, using and citing evaluations, spreading awareness, or providing feedback.
