Orvium - Open and Transparent Science Powered By BlockchainsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #ico6 years ago

Orvium is an open source and also a decentralized platform established to manage and feature peer-reviewed, scholarly publications. Orvium has the objective to eliminate several inefficiencies affecting to the scientific publishing model and improve the quality and effectiveness of scientific journals.

Because of the misaligned model which potentially compromises the existing scientific publication industry, there is a huge surge in the migration to open source initiatives such as arXiv & PLOS ONE. As a result, the evolution towards a blockchain-based solution is a natural advancement which would positively disrupt the scientific community.
Orvium creates a decentralized, immutable and independent method that permits time-stamped proof-of-existence (POE), authorship and possession for scientific content. The blockchain enables Orvium to retain a public trace of all activities connecting to a given content, including the principal submission, revisions, recognized and rejected peer reviews, copyright and user license alterations, among other activities.

Orvium features

Pursuant to honesty and public responsibility required for a credible peer review process, Orvium provides that and much more, enabling reviewers to get a full lifecycle traceability of the journal via the blockchain. In addition, multi-author reviews can also be undertaken.

• Zero-Day Publication: All content – even in the early draft status – are straightaway available online when they

• Manuscript Versioning: The scientific work can be created systematically on the platform, with multiple changes and versions being frequently upgraded.

• Decentralized Journals: This is an exclusive value proposition of Orvium which will be discussed in the next few sections under ‘Unique Differentiator’

• Accommodation of Gray Literature: The traditional content or the research that doesn’t pass the traditional peer review the screening procedure would be accommodated in the Orvium platform to permit for a more thorough peer review process and made sure that these potential nuggets of knowledge can be salvaged and saved.

The Token Utility

Orvium is considered as a utility token which is built on the Ethereum blockchain, operational as the important currency for the bellow mentioned use cases:

• Peer Review Reward: Researchers that involve in the process of peer-reviewing scientific journals will be rewarded with the ORV tokens

• Payment for Content Usage: If a paid licensing model is utilized, users have to pay for opening, downloading and repeating the content using ORV tokens. Orvium will take a minor transaction fee which is unnamed at the moment

• Creation & Management of DAJs: Orvium holders could contribute to the creation and operation of DAJs by staking ORV tokens into DAJs smart contracts

Conclusion

Provided the inefficiencies of the scientific publishing industry, the solution of Orvium is an innovative method for changing towards the advancement of science through its inclusive nature. On the other hand, the tectonic challenges facing the industry involved with its long-release date could be a source of concern for the short-term market. With an extremely competent team and a well-known line of advisors, Orvium looks to be a blockchain-based solution that has a worthy chance of carving a sizeable lead in this niche.
