ORVIUM (ICO): Blockchain platform that helps researchers and scientific authors.

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

Today, using the latest generation of artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies, together with decentralised storage and large data, Orvium provides a public, traceable and reliable record of the research publication flow. With continuous and rigorous review by members of the scientific community, and with the financial and reputational rewards for reviewers, Orvium increases the production and validation of research, enabling the research community to determine the validity and robustness of published work. By eliminating the publishing industry's usual routines regarding plagiarism, ownership of ideas and registration, Orvium helps to retain control of its work and its potential economic benefits, and enables publishers to publish at optimal cost of publication and access. Orvium's ultimate goal is to become the premier publishing platform, while bringing the benefits of science back to society.

Orvium Solution

Orvium uses a unique and seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies: Etherum blockchain and smart contracts, as well as decentralized storage solutions, large analytic data, and cloud computing to develop a platform to process, validate, and disseminate research data and results.

The Orvium platform has the following features:

  • Instantaneous verification of existence. The texts are available from the moment they are sent to Orvium.

  • Copyright and licenses are the exclusive and transferable property of the authors. Authorship retains control of your work and its potential economic benefits.

  • Unbeatable publication costs and access. Prices are not conditioned by monopolistic or oligopolistic market structures.

  • Efficient structures for the creation of decentralised magazines with low maintenance and operating costs.

  • It seamlessly integrates data and research results.

  • Continuous and transparent evaluations in pairs. The world of research is faced with the ability to publicly determine the validity and robustness of research.

  • Public recognition and financial reward for reviewers.

  • Freedom to subscribe to magazines. No subscription model to the journal is applied.

  • It accommodates grey literature and its validation.

  • Clear calculations are made of quality metrics, such as impact factor and quality of peer review.

  • It eliminates current "predatory" practices and conflicts related to plagiarism, ownership and registration.

  • Social platform.

In addition, Orvium is based on open source principles, so all software developed by Orvium is, and always will be, open source.

Benefits of Orvium

  • Decentralized model

Orvium displays all the splendor of a decentralized market, fair, transparent and competitive, free of bias, privileges and private interests.

  • Publication without delay

The scientific work is at the moment of its presentation. Orvium provides proof of independent, decentralized and unchanging existence, authorship and ownership.

  • Full life cycle traceability

The blockchain keeps a public track of all activity: submissions, revisions, accepted and rejected peer reviews, copyright and user license changes, etc.

  • The author chooses the license and owns the copyright.

Orvium produces custom license models by design. It is always the author who decides the model.

  • Processes and research data

Orvium empowers scientists to disseminate their complete studies through research data, code, etc. This increases scientific validity.

  • Large data analysis and machine learning

Orvium integrates Big Data Analytics with the block chain. This opens up valuable prospects for improving scientific production.

  • Decentralized magazines

Decentralized publishing provides a low maintenance, highly flexible, cost-effective and completely self-contained alternative for the management and categorization of scientific documentation, while representing an additional line of business for authors and publishers.

  • Cooperative atmosphere

Orvium provides a collaborative context for all processes related to the manuscript's life cycle.

  • Involve Society in Scientific Evolution

Orvium invites the general public to redefine journals, to create challenges that increase scientific validity and to promote patronage campaigns in both the public and private sectors.

An entirely social platform

The Orvium platform will free up the presence of all social actors in the evolution of science. Orvium's business project is supported by the inclusion of the definition of journals, the generation of challenges or rewards to the reviews in order to improve scientific validation, the promotion of patronage campaigns and the funding of research lines to the general public.
