To make research collaboration open to every serious scholar in India and beyond, so that good ideas find the right people regardless of where a researcher works.
CollabCite exists for one purpose: mutual research development and academic credibility through genuine co-authored work. We help researchers find each other, work together fairly, and stay informed about genuine opportunities.
Our core principles
Collaboration first
The platform exists to produce research together. There is no general social feed, no ads and no distractions.
Honest about journals
CollabCite is not a journal directory and does not promise members a publication outlet. We guide members to good journals through free resources, such as our guides to finding journals indexed in Scopus or Web of Science.
Partner journals by mutual interest
A small number of journals may partner with CollabCite. They may or may not post calls, and every partner must charge nothing to publish. The only allowed cost is the actual Crossref DOI fee, disclosed upfront with proof.
Privacy first
Member data is never sold, contact details are shared only with consent, and we follow India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Genuine scholarship
Citation trading and citation rings are banned. Members collaborate to produce research worth citing.
Transparent use of fees
Membership fees fund member verification, data handling and privacy compliance, journal checks, curating opportunities, and CollabCite’s own research activity.
Our tagline
Research together. Grow together. It says what we do, and what we hope every member gets from it.
