Instill is a community that incentivizes researchers to write constructive peer reviews. The platform also provides a safe place for underrepresented researchers to ask the community for feedback on how to improve their drafts, to increase their chances of publication. Existing peer review communities like PubPeer or PREreview don't support feedback requests, and also lack proper reward or incentive systems that attract peers to give feedback. Instill will initially start with Coil integration, but will explore using Web Payments to add community tipping (like Reddit badge awards), a payout pool program, where membership fees proportionally pay authors, and a bounty system where authors are paid to write feedback upon request.
