Are you a science geek?

I know I am. I love science. Research in the field of physics and biology attract me the most. Can you believe that there is so much news about research, new findings and upcoming technologies that we do not know? The primary reason is that these findings and research updates are published as papers in leading journals. And although I'm a science follower, I have to admit that reading papers are sometimes boring. But nothing is ever boring if you're really interested, isn't it?

The problem with publishing a paper is that most journals take a long time to get them published, because they have certain criteria to be followed. This makes the researchers' life really hard. They need to include a really well know personality as the author to get a chance at just getting noticed by the journals. This is really not a healthy trend, and it has to be changed in some way.

Moreover, some research papers are only published after the authors pay some amount to the journals, which, when we think about it, is really not fair; because they do the research not only for them, but the advancement of the whole world. The fact that the authors don't get much of an incentive from the published papers is something that could be changed to drive more and more people into the field of research.

Orvium - A small step towards Decentralizing Science

Orvium is a platform built that leverages the hottest technology of this time; blockchain. The Orvium platform tries to tackle lots of problems that exist in the current publication scenario. Firstly, Publications often hold the copyright of the paper instead of the actual authors. This is rather unfair, because the author who did the research and found the results gets little to no exposure along with his findings. Secondly, the problems hindering the publishing, like the high fee that is asked by the publications for publishing the paper, and the long wait for it to get published. The Orvium platform also wants to change how the paper performs after its publishing, by giving back to the authors; they aim to incentivize the authors according to the engagements in the publication.

So what are the Orvium solutions?

The papers that are submitted to Orvium are published instantaneously. This means that no waiting. Since Orvium acts as a publishing platform, they don't take any of rights of the authors from them. The author has full ownership and license of the paper that he/she has published. This also implies that the author(s) can transfer the ownership to other people, too. Also the peer reviewing system keep the best papers, ranked best and the worst, ill researched papers ranked worst. And what's the best part? Authors have the full benefit of their publications, meaning they receive all incentives and rewards. The inbuilt engine eliminates all possibilities of plagiarism and copying, and also false testimonies.

The major driving force in the Orvium platform is the Orvium (ORV) token. The token is used as a form of value exchange in the platform. Every action in the platform right from publishing, peer reviewing, payment for acquiring copyright, sharing of research data etc. generates an exchange if value, which is materialized through Orvium tokens. The inclusion of the token into the platform ensures that the platform and the market remains in the control of the users, and only the users.

Concluding Remarks

The Orvium platform can become a major boost for new researchers, to get their papers published and receive a wide acceptance for it. The fact that the papers can now generate revenue based on engagement, can also make the field of research to become more profitable. This may encourage more and more people to pursue the field of research, meaning that more experiments, search and finding would be made in various fields in science, making the world progress, as a whole. Orvium is a very basic idea, but with immense potential for transforming the world.
