| dc.description.abstract | Concerns regarding fairness, quality, performance,
cost, and accuracy arise when science is published, and peerreviewed.
The Open Access movement has failed to deliver on all its
promises, and intermediaries’ publishers can still enforce
regulations and profit concentrations. Existing publication
platforms have several serious flaws. First, rather than
encouraging extensive knowledge sharing, access to publications
on publisher-owned platforms is typically charged. Furthermore,
most present publication systems are prone to inefficient peer
review since reviewers are not properly compensated for
delivering high-quality reviews. A decentralized publication
system for open research using upcoming distributed
technologies like Blockchain creates a transparent governance.
In addition to a thorough analysis of the methods, resources,
and strategies put out in the literature to deal with the problems
brought on by the development of the proposed system, we
propose an application that makes advantage of the Ethereum
blockchain to address all these issues. The system promotes peer
review and develops its own reputation ecosystem as a substitute
for the dominant prestige structure now in existence in academic
publication. | en_US |
