Problem
Current academic publishing relies on legacy incentive structures that reward authorship position rather than actual contribution, leading to misaligned incentives, opaque credit allocation, and limited mechanisms to assess the impact and health of scholarly work.
Solution
Liberata offers an open‑access publishing platform that redefines incentive alignment through game‑theoretic mechanisms, encouraging contributors to produce high‑quality research. The system quantifies relative author contributions using a credit model, enabling transparent recognition beyond ordinal authorship order. Integrated graph‑theoretic analytics monitor impact, behavior, and risk across papers, authors, and institutions, providing a holistic view of scholarly health. A built‑in marketplace facilitates the exchange of academic services and resources, while metric tools generate nuanced performance indicators for all stakeholders. By combining these components, Liberata creates a self‑regulating ecosystem that promotes meritocratic publishing and continuous quality improvement.

Primary users are researchers, academic institutions, and scholarly societies seeking transparent credit allocation, robust impact analytics, and incentive‑aligned publishing workflows.
