You might want to dig into what ResearchHub is up to https://www.researchhub.com/

If you ignore the web3/crypto aspect, they’ve got a decent start on what seems like a reasonably similar platform. They do all their dev and community building out in the open, so you can join their Discord and listen in on their community calls, etc. Might at least give you some ideas on what to target or avoid.
