ORVIUM: IMPROVING THE QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHINGS

As each day passes by, there is always a new scientific discovery, and the only way to disseminate new discoveries is through publications. Scientific publishing industry is one of the most profitable in the world, and has been accounted to exceed companies such as Amazon, Google, and apple. 3 years ago, the global market for scientific publication was estimated to be 25 billion USD. However, the present publication industry has several difficulties affecting the research community, these includes: high publication costs, copyrights held by publishers rather than authors, opaque often times biased publication and a lot more. In a bid to proffer lasting solutions to the above mentioned challenges faced by the publication industries, a platform named Orvium has emerged.

What is Orvium?
Orvium is the first open source and decentralized framework for managing scholarly publications’ life cycle and the associated data. This is achieved with the use of blockchain technology and a decentralized storage approach which allows for a public, fully traceable and trustworthy record of the publication process at a minimal cost.
Orvium aims to help the scientific community share its publications, eliminate market inefficiencies and improve the quality and effectiveness of scientific publishings.

FEATURES OF THE ORVIUM PLATFORM
The Outstanding features of Orvium platform includes but not limited to the following:
• Seamless integration between research and data results
• The platform gives author the abililty to retain control of their work and its potential economic effect
• Transparent calculation of quality metrics and peer review quality
• Public recognition of economic reward for peer reviewers
• The research community is furnished with the ability to publicly determine validity and soundness of the research

BENEFITS OF ORVIUM PLATFORM TO THE COMMUNITY

• It helps to enhance science to human heritage: Science as we all know is one of the greates gift to humanity and a major component of the human heritage. To this end, science and related reseach activities deserves to be preserved and handled with extreme protection. Orvium creates an open and transparent structure that will eradicate existing access barriers to scientific knowledge by bringing together the publication model with research objectives.
• The use of blockchain and smart contract technologies by Orvium has made it possible for science to be made more transparent and accessible than ever before. All Orvium source code would be published under an open source license andevery single task and transaction in the system would be accessible to all and sundry.
• Orvium offers a business strategy that return benefits to science and puts an end to drain of human resources: This will be achieved by offering a fair model that ensures authors and research institutios retain full ownerships of copyrights and licenses. Also benefits genearated by the scientific community during a research would be cycled back to scientists and funding institutions.
• Society incorporation and participation in the scientific process and its evolution: Orvium aims to enlighten the societ about ways by which science works and ensures their active participation in it. One of the goals of Orvium is to expose science to the society and fashion out a way to involve the society in scientific processes and its evolution.

• Zero delay publication: Scientific work would be made available from the moment it is submitted. Orvium establishes an independent and decentralized time stamped proof of existence, authorship and ownership

WHAT DISTINGUISHES ORVIUM FROM OTHER PUBLISHING INDUSTRIES?
Many publishing platform has been associated with many limitations such as high cost to access scientific results, lack of transparency, no link between research and data, scientists work not fully recognized and long delay from submission to publication. However, Orvium has arose as a better platform to provide efficient framework to create decentralized journals with low maintenance and operation costs, seamless integration between research data results, publication recognition and economic reward for peer reviewers and optimal publications.
