ReputAble is a UK-based research infrastructure organisation developing a new layer for research funding workflows. Its aim is to ease pressure on peer review and recognise scientific contributions earlier in the research lifecycle. The organisation responds to challenges including rising submission volumes, declining reviewer acceptance, lengthy funding cycles, duplicated administrative work, and contributions that often go unrecognised until publication.

Designed to work within existing funder and institutional workflows rather than replace them, ReputAble prioritises governance, interoperability, and auditability. Its proposed infrastructure is intended to reduce duplicated proposal formatting, support reviewer engagement, and capture structured, verifiable contribution records as work happens. These records are designed to be portable across institutions, helping researchers evidence their efforts and build a trusted reputation.

ReputAble is developing its network of founding partners and engaging with funders, higher education institutions, research bodies, and research policy professionals. Its intended users include research funders seeking better evaluation data and shorter review cycles, institutions aiming to reduce administrative burden, and researchers seeking recognition for often-invisible contributions.
