Orvium - Open and Transparent Science Powered By Blockchain

wirr22 (38)in #cryptocurrency • 6 years ago

Can people live without sains?
Someone made the question in one of the groups. Sorry, I think that's a stupid question. All kinds of science already exist in nature, since time immemorial, since this nature you know. And anyone in nature will not be able to separate human beings with the various science phenomena experienced.

What it is Orvium?

Orvium is the first open source and decentralized framework for managing scholarly publications’ life cycles and the associated data.

Problem

The scientific publishing industry is one of the most profitable in the world. The top five publishers account for 50% to 70% of all publications, and their profit margins have been reported to exceed those of companies such as Google, Amazon and Apple. In 2015, the global market for scientific, technical, and medical (STM) publications was an estimated $25 billion.

In contrast to any other publishing industry, private scientific publishers have pushed the publication efforts and costs to the research community. Scientific publishers have created an awkward triple-pay system:

governments fund most of the research,
volunteer scientists, usually paid by the government or research institute, review the work
publishers sell the product back to governmental institutions and universities.

Scientists and research institutions regularly criticize this outrageous economic model, which compromises the dissemination and growth of scientific knowledge, a process responsible for some of the most revolutionary changes in human history.

Moreover, the current publication model has several problems affecting the research community, including high publication costs; copyrights held by publishers rather than authors; long, opaque and oftentimes biased publication and peer review process; lack of rewards and recognition for reviewers; and a proliferation of low- quality journals.

The Solution

Orvium leverages a unique and seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies: Ethereum blockchain and smart contracts, decentralized storage solutions, big data analytics, and cloud computing, to create a platform to process, validate, and disseminate research data and results.

The Orvium platform is characterized by the following:

Instantaneous proof-of-existence. Manuscripts are available from the moment they are submitted to Orvium.
Copyright and licenses are owned and transferable by authors. Authors retain control of their work and its potential economic benefits.
Optimal publication and access costs. The prices are not influenced by monopolistic or oligopolistic market structures.
Efficient framework to create decentralized journals with low maintenance and operational costs.
Seamless integration between research data and results.
Continuous and transparent peer reviews. The research community is empowered to publicly determine the validity and soundness of the research.
Public recognition and economic reward for peer reviewers.
Journal subscription freedom. No journal subscription model is enforced.
Accommodates gray literature and its validation.
Transparent calculation of quality metrics such as impact factor and peer review quality.
Eliminates current “predatory” practices and conflicts regarding plagiarism, idea ownership and registration.
Social platform.

Science and Its Impacts on the Society

The limitations of the current publication model are not only affecting the scientific community, they have significant negative implications for everybody. Science has a major impact on society, it is the force behind some of the most revolutionary changes in human history. Science drastically changes the way we live, communicate and work, it even changes the length and quality of life itself. By making life easier, science has helped man to study and critique ethics, aesthetics, education, and justice; to create cultures, and to improve human conditions.

Orvium Mission

Orvium works to eliminate market inefficiencies and improve the quality and effectiveness of scientific publishing. The ultimate objective is for Orvium to be the leading publication platform for the research community while returning the benefits of science to the society.
