ORVIUM: HANDING THE POWER OF SCIENTIFIC DISSEMINATION TO SCIENTISTS USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

in #blockchain6 years ago (edited)

We live, see and breath science, it is the essence of human existence and the force backing revolution. It has made living life easier by improving human knowledge and scientific condition. The study of science has evolved from prehistoric age to where we are today. The ubiquity in science has brought millions of people wanting to study science and for this there is a need for sharing of scientific knowledge.
Over the years, circulation of scientific works has been beneficial to both research scientists and readers because of authentic and quality in hypothesis and thesis in scientific facts. In fact, science publication has been said to be one of the most profitable in the world, exceeding companies like Google AdSense in terms of margins.
The success in scientific dissemination helps to challenge more scientists, give fresh ideas and even improve on hypothesis left by other researchers.
The cycle of research is in four phases;

  • Idea discovery and hypothesis generation
  • Approval and research funding
  • Conduct research
  • Research dissemination which is very important to the scientists.

Gathering of facts, proving the hypothesis, turning it into something meaningful takes time and a whole lot of work but today, the dissemination of works have become compromised.
Science knowledge is becoming pretty biased as more and more people troupe into science publishing because of the said profits they can receive and this has brought about copyright, alteration, poorly written works with no insights, publishers wanting more by doubling the cost of publication and a host of other problems.

The Orvium mission is to restore science publication to its former glory by weeding out inefficiencies and improving the quality of scientific publishing.

How does Orvium intend to do this?
By introducing blockchain technology which will build a transparent and trustworthy environment for scientists. Blockchain technology requires continuous consensus by people by so doing, only truth will be disseminated as the control of science dissemination will be given to the researcher making it a save haven for scientific publication.

Orvium is the first of its kind, using a decentralized structure to manage scholarly publications. The model brings uniqueness because of the combination of the core technologies;

  • Blockchain and smart contracts
  • Decentralized storage
    Both will allow for a transparent and trustworthy experience, security of information, publication at a minimal cost.
  • Cloud computing will show flexibility, adaptability and global availability.
  • Big data analysis and machine learning will help to facilitate review accuracy and help to identify new and trending research topics.

What is the Orvium objective?

  • To improve and preserve science which is a beautiful gift to man. Orvium intends to protect this gift by keeping it pure for future generations to benefit from it as well.
  • To return the benefits the researcher once enjoyed in scientific publications. The cost of publication has eaten away any profit that a science researcher would have enjoyed but Orvium is offering a simple model that will minimize publication costs.
  • To once more make science transparent to everyone using the blockchain and smart contracts.
  • To make people know the work and impact of the researcher by heightening the quality.

Along the way, some market barriers can be encountered to make researchers shy away from expanding theirs ideas but Orvium has a strategy to overcome such fears by being completely transparent, break the cost of publication, allowing researchers to thinks as wide as they want to, enhance the dissemination of this knowledge and create a zero delay in publication.

Blockchain in Orvium helps to capture every activity from when it was first submitted down to the finish line of dissemination. the zero delay model with Blockchain incorporated into Orvium makes it unique and will be at the forefront of any publishing industry.

Why we chose Orvium
Take a look at the publishing model comparison between Orvium and the current industry model.

Adding to this model, users gain the right to own their own accounts (wallets) which is accessible through mobile or desktop application with a strict verification process to help curb out impersonation. This will be done by either Facebook or google integration.

Finally, with Orvium there is a user free and friendly experience and can be used in any type of device. The beauty of science will be retained and upheld with Orvium and the wonders of science will again be made possible, thanks to many of the factors behind it.
