The idea
Richard Price, the founder of Academia.edu, had the idea for the company when finishing his PhD at Oxford in philosophy.As Richard was finishing his PhD, he decided he wanted to have a homepage where he could say “this is who I am; this is what I have been working on; here are my papers.” At the time, Oxford offered a few megabytes of space for personal websites, and you had to write your own HTML, and FTP files to the server yourself. Richard thought “there should be a one-click way of creating a homepage, and uploading papers. Having a homepage shouldn’t require technical ability.” Richard asked a few of his fellow graduate students, and they felt the same way.（Academia.edu的创始人理查德·普莱斯（Richard Price）在牛津大学完成哲学博士学位期间孕育了这个平台的想法。当时正值博士论文收尾阶段，他希望能建立一个个人主页用以展示"自我身份、研究内容及学术论文"。彼时牛津大学仅提供数兆字节的个人网页空间，且需要自行编写HTML代码并通过FTP手动上传文件至服务器。普莱斯认为："应当存在一种一键创建个人主页并上传论文的便捷方式，建立个人主页不应要求具备技术能力"。在询问过几位同行研究生后，他发现大家对此都深有同感。）

Mission
Academia’s mission is to accelerate the world’s research. We believe that science is a transformative lever for technological progress.
Archimedes' principle, "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world," encapsulates this vision.
The scientific revolution has significantly driven GDP growth over the past two centuries.
Science has been pivotal in reducing the cost of clean energy and has drastically decreased the mortality rate for cardiovascular disease over the last 60 years . Moreover, the cost of sequencing a human genome has plummeted from $100 million in 2001 to $500 today.
Accelerating scientific progress means faster advancements in critical areas such as global poverty reduction, clean energy, disease cures, and the development of aligned superintelligence.
（Academia的使命是加速全球科研进程。我们坚信科学是推动技术进步的变革性杠杆。
阿基米德的名言"给我一个足够长的杠杆和一个支点，我就能撬动地球"正是这一愿景的生动诠释。
科学革命在过去两个世纪里显著推动了全球GDP增长。
科学在降低清洁能源成本方面发挥着关键作用，并使心血管疾病死亡率在过去60年间大幅下降。此外，人类基因组测序成本已从2001年的1亿美元骤降至如今的500美元。
加速科研进程意味着将在关键领域取得更快的突破：包括全球减贫、清洁能源、疾病治愈以及对齐超智能技术的开发。）
The future
We have built the foundation of Academia.edu, and have started to accelerate the world’s research.
We are still at day one. Most of the work to accelerate the world’s future lies in the future. I find that inspiring.
These are Academia’s milestones after 2026 :
2026:Have a portfolio of high impact open access academic journals.
2027:Have the world’s best paper recommendation system
2028:Academics are commenting and engaging daily on the latest results
2029:Host 100 million papers
（我们已初步构建起Academia.edu的基础框架，并开始助力全球科研提速。
这一切才刚刚起步，加速世界科研未来的伟大征程仍在前方——这令我倍感振奋。
以下是Academia在2026年后的发展规划：
2026年：组建具有高影响力的开放获取学术期刊矩阵
2027年：建成全球顶尖的论文推荐系统
2028年：实现学者每日对最新研究成果进行评论互动
2029年：平台论文储量突破一亿篇）
