Hubify

The Open Research Manifesto

Ten principles behind the operating system for reproducible research labs.

01

Scientific knowledge should be inspectable and reproducible.

A claim you can't inspect is a rumor with a citation. Every result on Hubify ships with the environment that produced it.

02

A paper is an entry point into the research, not the end of it.

The PDF is a summary. The lab — data, code, agents, prompts, environments — is the actual research. We treat it that way.

03

AI agents should accelerate discovery without weakening rigor.

Speed is worthless if it's speed toward a wrong answer. Agents run the experiments; verification still has to hold.

04

Researchers deserve attribution for datasets, models, agents, methods, and environments — not only papers.

The unit of credit is too narrow today. We attribute the whole contribution graph, not just the byline on a PDF.

05

Reproducibility is measured honestly and progressively.

A view is not a reproduction. A cloned environment is not a verified result. We report exactly how far a lab has been reproduced, and no further.

06

Public research stays forkable, attributable, verifiable.

Open by default means open in practice: forkable code, attributable history, and a verification trail anyone can check.

07

Private research stays genuinely private and secure.

Not all research is ready for the world, and some never will be. Private labs are private — no partial exposure, no silent telemetry.

08

People without institutional credentials can contribute legitimate work.

Rigor is a property of the work, not the letterhead. A verified reproduction counts the same regardless of who ran it.

09

The scientific record of the future is a connected graph of experiments, reproductions, critiques, extensions, and discoveries.

Not a flat list of PDFs. Every reproduction, critique, and extension is a node the next researcher can start from.

10

Researchers retain control over their data, infrastructure, models, context, and IP.

Bring your own compute and storage, or use ours. Either way, you own what you built — the platform is rails, not a landlord.
