ORVIUM – SOLUTION TO SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION INDUSTRY WITH BLOCKCHAIN

Overview
ORVIUM is a fully decentralized platform where they are eliminating the problems of scientific publishing industry with the help of blockchain technology to manage the full life cycles of scholarly publications. Using the blockchain technology, they are providing fully decentralized platform which is an open platform where it will provide fully traceable and trustworthy records of the publications in cost efficient way.

Working
The ORVIUM platform will work on fully decentralized where the process goes transparent with the help of their ORV tokens. With their ORV tokens they are providing a fair distribution model to authors and research organizations.
About the platform any individual can create an account to access the system. Researchers must use their ORCHID code to authenticate the process and submit their wallet address for access. After the registration process, Authors submit their manuscript to ORVIUM platform where public proof-of-existence and authorship is stored under the blockchain. Authors have authority to decide on the quantity of distributing ORV tokens per review. Now, Researchers acting as peer reviewers who submit their reviews to ORVIUM. By doing this, authors and researchers getting the ORV tokens in return for viewing, comments and share.

Problem
The current model of research community is having many problems. They are – High costs to access scientific results where authors are facing high publication costs for submission of their manuscript with lesser resources. There is lack of transparency where papers are published but in a closed state where authors do not know about their reviewers regarding their submitted content. There is no link between research and data where collaboration between them is not done properly which creates a negative point. Most of the publishers do not recognize by any work done by scientific reviewers where the identity of reviewers can not made public. The process from submission to publication is very long where after submitting the manuscript – an editor need to review and assign it to the peer reviewers. After the successful process from authors to editors to reviewers, the manuscript is about to published.

Solution
ORVIUM is using decentralized blockchain technology where they are providing an open platform where publishers and reviewers can get benefitted with the ORVIUM because the visibility of their work will be showing on their platform. They are providing researchers to have fully access to their account where they can track their work anytime. The platform where reviewers also getting exposure by giving reviews on the publisher’s content and by this they get reputation that they deserve. By reviewing they get rewards in return as ORV token. While submitting the manuscript on the ORVIUM platform it will appears online at the same time and the process goes with the peer reviews, published papers. The transaction is being done by the smart contract technology where ORV tokens is distributed among the publishers and reviewers. The publishing process shorten the time of publishing with blockchain technology as an open platform.

Verdict
ORVIUM is an open decentralized blockchain based project where they are solving the problems of research community where they are linking the platform with researchers and reviewers and publishers.
The Social media hype is very low, but they are active on Telegram Group.
The Whitepaper is explained in very much in detail but not in a proper format. They must make proper format of their whitepaper.
There are 3 core founders who are renowned scientists work as software engineers and big data engineers and there are 21 Advisors from scientific, blockchain and technology backgrounds and having years of experiences. The token sale is also looking good because the hard cap is only $20 M, but token sale duration is yet to be announced.
They are currently working on their MVP and releasing soon. Token sale is yet to be announced. The Roadmap is mentioned in a complete well format with goals and timeline as quarterly.
They have partnered with Amazix, Attela, Wachsman PR and Bitcoin Suisse AG. Since it is unique kind of project so there are no competitors.
