Omniscientia
A peer-reviewed Q&A platform for factual questions with verifiable answers. Every answer is written by a real person and verified by the community.
Why Omniscientia exists
The internet is being flooded with AI-generated content — answers that sound authoritative but may be wrong, hallucinated, or entirely fabricated. At the same time, finding a clear, specific answer to a factual question often means wading through broad Wikipedia articles, paywalled journals, or forum posts of unknown reliability.
Omniscientia is built on a different premise: human knowledge, rigorously verified. We take the trust and transparency of academic peer review and make it fast, free, and accessible — one question at a time.
Our core guarantee
Human-authored answers
Every answer is written by a real person. Contributors declare their human authorship on submission, and reviewers are trained to identify AI-generated content.
Peer-reviewed
Every answer requires 3 approvals from community reviewers before it is marked Verified. Reviewers must explain their decision in writing — and their reviews are public.
Citations required
Every answer must link to a real, verifiable source. Reviewers check that the source actually supports the answer.
AI in its place
We use AI for one thing only: checking whether a submitted question is factual before it goes live. AI never generates, reviews, or moderates answers.
How questions work
Ask a factual question
Questions must have a verifiable, objective answer. No opinion-based or recommendation questions. Our AI assistant flags questions that may be opinion-based before submission — human moderators make all final decisions.
Community validates the question
Members vote on whether the question is clear and factual. Questions that pass validation open for answers.
Members submit answers
Answers must be 300 words or fewer, link to a verifiable source, and include a human authorship declaration. Answers are immediately visible, marked "In Review".
Peer review
Reviewers assess each answer — checking factual accuracy, citation validity, and writing quality. Each answer needs 3 approvals from different reviewers to become Verified. All reviews are public.
Verified and living
Verified answers remain open for community commentary. If new evidence emerges, anyone can flag the answer for re-review. Previous versions are always visible.
How peer reviewing works
Reviewing on Omniscientia is modelled on open access academic peer review — transparent, attributed, and publicly visible. Unlike upvoting on platforms like Quora or Reddit, reviewers must explain their decision in writing. That explanation is permanently attached to the answer for everyone to see.
