We’re trying to bring together resources of use to established and prospective independent researchers. The alt-ac community has already done a great job of bringing to light careers outside of the traditional academic tenure track.
For tax purposes, most independent scholars consider themselves freelancers. This status allows them to deduct certain expenses incurred, such as society dues, research books, and conferencing fees (when that was a thing). Since tax systems are location specific, we’re providing resources by country. Please share with us any relevant resources you find in your country if it’s missing.
