Our Mission
Academic publishing shouldn't be this hard. Researchers spend countless hours reformatting manuscripts, chasing down requirements, and wrestling with submission portals.
We built Shoulders.me to change that. Our platform handles the formatting, validation, and submission logistics so researchers can focus on what they do best: advancing human knowledge.
