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.

Beyond Disciplines: Evolving Research Methodology for the post-pandemic 'New Normal'
Beyond Disciplines: Evolving Research Methodology for the post-pandemic �New Normal�
Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research have become, if not a new normal, a significant part of the academic landscape in recent decades. But have these trends gone far enough? Are they studying what needs to be studied in ways that need to be studied to pave the way for the new normal ways of living beyond the COVID-19 pandemic? This short paper invites an even more fundamental step-back into the nature of humankind's evolving awareness and offers suggestions for enabling research that engages more deeply and impacts more relevantly.
