Orvium ICO
ORVIUM – OPEN AND TRANSPARENT SCIENCE POWERED BY BLOCKCHAIN
Open and Transparent Science Powered By BlockchainOrvium is the first open source and decentralized framework for managing scholarly publications’ life cycles and the associated data
About Orvium
Orvium unlocks the full potential of a decentralized, fair, transparent and competitive market free of biases, oligopolies and private interests. Scientific work is available from the moment it is submitted. Orvium establishes an independent, decentralized and immutable time-stamped proof of existence, authorship and ownership. Keeps in the blockchain a public trace of all the activity: submission, revisions, accepted and rejected peer reviews, copyright and user license changes, etc. Orvium is agnostic about licensing models by design. The model is always author’s decision. Orvium empowers scientists to share the complete study by making available research data, code, etc. This increase scientific validation. Orvium integrates Big Data Analytics with the blockchain. This unlocks valuable insights to improve scientific production. Decentralized journals offer a low maintenance, highly flexible, cost effective and completely autonomous way to handle and categorize scientific literature while offering a further line of business for authors and editors. Orvium provides a collaborative framework for any single process related to the manuscript life cycle. Orvium opens the definition of journals, the creation of challenges to increase scientific validation and the promotion of patronage campaigns to the general public.

Full lifecycle traceabilityKeeps in the blockchain a public trace of all the activity: submission, revisions, accepted and rejected peer reviews, copyright and user license changes, etc.
Authors select license and own the copyrightOrvium is agnostic about licensing models by design. The model is always author’s decision.
Research Data and ProcessOrvium empowers scientists to share the complete study by making available research data, code, etc. This increase scientific validation.
Big Data Analytics and Machine LearningOrvium integrates Big Data Analytics with the blockchain. This unlocks valuable insights to improve scientific production.
Decentralized JournalsDecentralized journals offer a low maintenance, highly flexible, cost effective and completely autonomous way to handle and categorize scientific literature while offering a further line of business for authors and editors.
Collaborative EnvironmentOrvium provides a collaborative framework for any single process related to the manuscript life cycle.
Incorporate Society to Science EvolutionOrvium opens the definition of journals, the creation of challenges to increase scientific validation and the promotion of patronage campaigns to the general public.
TRANSPARENT, UNIVERSAL, UNBIASED AND ACCESSIBLE SCIENCE
BlockchainEvery transaction (e.g., submissions of manuscripts, revisions, publications, peer reviews, oracle actions, patronage results etc.) is stored the blockchain and accessible to anyone
Decentralized StorageUnlocks a public, globally accessible, fully traceable and trustworthy record of the publication process at a minimal cost
Big Data & Artificial IntelligenceLeverages forefront Big Data technologies and artificial intelligence developments to take scientific validation to a completely new level. Replaces the current obsolete rules by unbiased and transparent data-driven ones
Open Source FrameworkOrvium’s source code will be published under an open source license and driven by the community.
THE ORVIUM (ORV) TOKEN
Efficient and Unbiased Business ModelORV establishes a transparent, comprehensive and competitive business model to support global research.
Recognition and RewardORV enables a fair cost distribution model to authors, ensuring reward and recognition for all participants
Cost Effective JournalsORV empowers journals to become viable and sustainable at a low cost
Continuous EvolutionORV ensures a continued evolution of the platform while supporting global research.
ORVIUM TOKEN PUBLICATION MODEL
Manuscript SubmissionAt submission time manuscripts (initial or new version) are available to the whole community and authors can stake a number of ORV tokens to encourage and challenge the community for peer reviews. The number of ORV tokens staked for each review will be determined by the author.
Scientific ReviewReviewers can submit reviews to any manuscript at any time. Through proper analysis and public exposure of the results, Orvium allows both public recognition of reviewers’ work and a reward in the form of Orvium tokens.
Copyright and LicenseOrvium empowers authors full control over the licensing and copyrights. If a paid licensing model is chosen, journals and/or readers pay ORV tokens for accessing the content.
Research DataAuthors can share the data used in the research. For that authors are empowered to select the licensing and copyright model that fits their case best. This data licensing freedom will make a new research data market possible which can effectively help to share costs or get rewarded for work, which serves as the basis for others’ economic benefit
DENCENTRALIZED AUTONOMOUS JOURNALS
Smart Contract Based JournalsJournals are managed as decentralized autonomous organizations by smart contracts. Those are defined transparently by contributors, who stake ORV token and receive specific Journal Tokens.
Open and Transparent ManagementThe management rules are publicly available. Journal tokens empower contributors with decision capabilities using different voting and participation schemas.
Benefits are Shared Among ContributorsContributors receive the revenues generated based on their contribution and the rules defined in the smart contract. The operational costs associated with reviews, copyright agreements and Orvium Licenses are cover by the stake of the owners.
ROADMAP
The following milestones give details about the development of the Orvium project in order to become the leading publication platform for the research community while returning the benefits of science to the society.
