''Main article: [[Motivation for SDF]]''

SDF is devoted to using DAO technology to decentralize the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge on a global scale. There are many pressing problems which serve to motivate this undertaking. Private capture of the process of scientific development can impede healthy intellectual discovery and human advancement. For example, five privately owned publishing houses, such as Elsevier and Springer, have centralized the majority control of official scientific communications.<ref>Vincent Larivière, Stefanie Haustein & Philippe Mongeon

The solution to many of the issues threatening the healthy development of the institutions of science requires improvements to the existing frameworks of scientific societies. New technological platforms can encourage scientists to collaborate openly, govern their editing processes transparently, and accurately account for credit for discoveries and factual verification.
