You know, I think your idea will be huge.
Although Steemit is a great place for a scientist to publish their work, get paid and still preserve 100% of the rights for their research, it also requires so much time to grow within the community. They would need to dedicate so much time writing articles pretty much on a daily basis as well as interacting with the people around here, and to be honest, I prefer they weren't wasting their time on that but on their own investigations.

I can't wait to see when this project takes off! Best of success.
This is the kind of things Steemit should base its foundations on.
