The blockchain plays a big role in improving academic research in our world today.

The blockchain has the capability to create a tamper-proof and transparent record of different transactions and this is as a result of it's transparent and immutable feature.

In relation to academic growth, the academic research details can be stored on the blockchain, thus guaranteeing their immutability and transparency .

With this features, it makes it impossible for any one to alter research findings, thus maintaining the authenticity and credibility of research result.

The blockchain also helps to protect the results of a research from copyright infringement and plagiarism.

The blockchain does this by helping researchers to timestamp their work on the blockchain thus having a proof of ownership of work incase of plagiarism issues and copyright infringement.

• INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTION:

This was briefly explained above but there is more to intellectual property protection of student.

It is no news that students are becoming very lazy lately, and all they try to do is to copy from the work of others.

Many students attempts to plagiarise while some attempt to paraphrase a plagiarized article.

The blockchain being introduced to the educational sector has helped to curb that habit and made students more hardworking.

One feature of the blockchain is it's immutability and ability to keep track of time.

Whenever a student does an assignment/project and stores it on the blockchain, the blockchain keeps a timestamp of when the data was stored, and in this process it is providing an undeniable proof of ownership of work when a duplicate copy is being detected.

• EFFICIENT STUDENT ENROLLMENT:

The blockchain also aid an efficient student enrollment process.

The blockchain security helps to protect the blockchain from unauthorized access, hereby making it impossible for a student to be enrolled through manipulated means.

With the help of the blockchain technology, students educational qualification can be easily shared to authorized hands, thus making it easy to verify the enrollment of a student and thus tracking their educational progress.

The blockchain also helps to create a digital certificate and transcript that can easily be verifyable and transferred amongst institution, thus making easy for a student to be verified and enrolled into an institution without the need of moving with cumbersome certificates which consumes time to verify.
