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