LibreTimes

Science and Education

LibreTimes is a scientific and educational platform. Publish your teaching, research, and writing on a profile that is your academic CV, and find who else works on what you do.

Four things on one address

Teaching material has nowhere good to live. Preprint servers take research and not lecture notes, institutional pages disappear when you change jobs, and a personal site connects to nothing.

A public profile page
An academic CV you write yourself, not one assembled about you.
  • Education, positions, teaching, talks, grants, awards, skills
  • Its own visibility per section, down to a single phone number
  • Lives at libretimes.io/@yourusername and moves with you
A place to publish
Long-form structured writing, with teaching material as a first-class output.
  • Markdown with mathematics that renders, code, and figures
  • TikZ diagrams and attachments up to 100 MB
  • Editable and deletable -- living content, at a stable address
A record of your works
Everything you have published, including the work that came out elsewhere.
  • Matched automatically from external databases via your ORCID
  • Every entry marked with where it came from
  • Citation tooling in the editor; everything here can be cited back
The people reading it
Follows, comments, and messages, so work connects to the people it is for.
  • Follow authors, subjects, and organizations
  • Comments for questions, corrections, and alternative approaches
  • No ranking that rewards posting more, and no score on a profile

What it is not

  • Not a journal. No editorial workflow, no peer review, no acceptance bar.
  • Not a preprint server. Citable records should be frozen once published; what you write here stays editable.
  • Not a Q&A forum. Questions and answers are their own format and belong somewhere built for them.
  • Not an engagement product. There is no advertising, no feed that rewards posting more often, and no number on your profile standing in for your standing in a field.

Your content stays yours: CC-BY-SA-4.0 by default with a licence you choose per publication, free to read without an account, and exportable. Write in any language -- the interface is in five so far, and more are added as they are translated.

Anyone can join LibreTimes

Everything published here is free to read, with no account at all. Creating one takes a minute, and it lets you publish, keep a CV, and follow the people whose work you care about.
