The Epistemic Engineering Platform is on the path to a major relaunch in Summer 2025, bringing forth three distinct platforms designed to revolutionize academic publishing and research. With support from UM6P Polytech, a dedicated development team from 1337 School, and a three-year budget to explore innovative academic tools, we are preparing to make a bold leap forward.
These three platforms—The Future of Science Network, LEGACY, and a new Dissertation Text Editor—are being designed with a clear vision for the future of scholarly communication. Here’s how the roadmap is shaping up for the coming months.
📌 The Future of Science Network: A Hub for Innovation in Academic Publishing
The Future of Science Network is set to become a central hub for discussions and experimentation in academic publishing. This platform will:
✅ Host Open Review Journals – such as the Global Identities Studies journal.
✅ Feature an Open Review Archive – including the IAS Archives and UM6P Archives.
✅ Explore AI-Powered Reviewing – developing systems for automated academic journal review.
✅ Connect Scholars Through Content – hosting articles, podcasts, and discussions on the future of knowledge dissemination.
✅ Foster International Collaboration – supporting an annual international symposium on innovation in academic publishing.
🔹 Roadmap Until Summer 2025
🟡 Q1 2025 :
- Develop a new version of the text editor with enhanced usability.

✅ Automates Formatting – ensuring compliance with university requirements.
✅ Simplifies Research Management – with built-in referencing tools.
✅ Supports Supervisors and Advisors – allowing easy collaboration and feedback.
✅ Provides a Potential Revenue Model – helping sustain the Epistemic Engineering Platform’s long-term development.
🔹 Roadmap Until Summer 2025
🟡 Q1 2025:
- Develop the first fully functional version of the editor.
- Conduct a market analysis to identify potential university partners.
🟢 Q2 2025:
- Begin testing with selected universities and early adopters.
- Implement refinements based on feedback.
- Public release of the Dissertation Text Editor as a scalable academic tool.
- Explore further institutional adoption and expansion strategies.
🚀 Looking Ahead: The Final Stretch to Relaunch
With weekly developer meetings, monthly strategic sessions, and continuous open-source development, the platform is moving swiftly towards its Summer 2025 relaunch. The combination of AI-driven innovation, open publishing models, and new tools for scholars will set a new standard for academic research platforms.
🛠️ What’s Next?
