Hello, Edgeryders!
I am curious about potential interest of any of you in taking part in creating and running a new research journal currently in the making, on the topic of scientific self-experimentation with psychoactive substances.
We are a group of colleagues/friends working in chemistry, pharmacology, drug development, anthropology or legislation related to psychedelics, who saw a need for the space to publish analytically confirmed, peer-reviewed observations in this field, thus furthering and destigmatising the discussions surrounding the work itself and the broader public perception / societal integration.
Currently we are in search of interested people who’d be happy to join in with skills to create and maintain the interface for article submissions and editor-researcher communications, ideally securing full anonymity if so desired, and the public facing website. (All the work will be fully legal, but given the stigma, some researchers might wish to remain anonymous.) And I thought this project likely is in alignment with some individuals from Edgeryders community here.
Please let me know if it is or is not suitable to post this request openly on the forum, and which category/topic if yes. I will gladly move it there and write more.
Thank you for consideration.
Jitka Nykodemová,
on behalf of the rest the team.
