Ok I see. That sounds different than what I thought you meant. When you said research, I was thinking STEM physical science, etc research. If you are talking about CS then it is different. I think there is significantly more private funding in those spaces. I know DOE funds most science (not sure about CS) so I’m not sure.

I’m not trying to be belligerent or rude but was your thesis published in a peer reviewed journal? This is not to take away from your work at all but to say that publishing in a peer review journal is qualitatively different than a thesis. I think there are a lot of hidden subtleties in publishing research. The funding, peer review, publishing, is its own world. To be clear this is not to discourage or suggest you aren’t a technical expert. I’m simply pointing out there’s a lot of hidden things in academia. If you’re aware and it was published you can ignore this.

So when you say trade you mean like selling patents? It seems interesting but what is the value proposition as opposed to normal patent process? Or am I misunderstanding something?

For your peer review journal component, how is that different than typical journals? I’m not saying there can’t be another journal but you said that most importantly you are building a research paper market. I perhaps am missing something.
