Orvium
Good evening, dear friends. Today, technology is developing at a frantic pace. Every day we hear about new discoveries, and once fantastic stories have become a reality: robots with artificial intelligence support a conversation on a par with a man, there are bio-printers for printing organs, incubators, allowing to carry embryos, cars with autopilot... And how many scientific achievements in the defense industry, medicine remained “behind the scenes”?
But the technology could develop many times faster. Months, sometimes years, pass from the important discovery to the publication of research results in scientific journals. Often, studies that can turn science over are published in little-known journals and are simply lost among useless material, and not serving the benefit of society.
The second serious problem is the regulation of copyright. As a rule, all the laurels, or rather dividends go to the publication, which is printed material, while the authors receive a mere penny. This situation demotivates and repels talented scientists, writers, researchers.
While there is no transparent mechanism for copyright regulation, there are many “predatory” schemes in which stolen materials are illegally reprinted.
To change the existing publishing model for scientific research able interesting project Orvium.
Orvium-full control over copyright
Orvium - a decentralized publishing platform to publish scientific papers (theses, articles with various research and discoveries, experimental data), organizing and managing volumes of information. The main idea is to make the industry transparent, to simplify the publication of various materials, access to them, to settle the problem of copyright, to ensure fair remuneration to the authors of the content.
Blockchain technology helps to solve a complex problem: publication data is stored in a distributed network in encrypted form, no one can replace or change them, you can always accurately track the distribution of the material and control copyright. The time of publication of scientific studies and articles will be reduced from several months spent on the verification and confirmation of authorship, to several minutes. Artificial intelligence will check the articles for plagiarism and confirm the originality of the material. Articles with someone else's data without a license will be eliminated.
Become a member of the project and place on the platform of their work can be both an individual and a research organization.
With Orvium, the publishing process will take place in three stages and will take a minimum of time:
Publication. It is necessary to place the work on the platform and submit manuscripts to confirm authorship. Have the opportunity to prepare articles using software tools Orvium: the story of the creation and all changes will be recorded in the chain of the blockchain that will make it easier to prove authorship.
Peer review. Independent review will determine the value of the published material. To interest reviewers, authors may offer a reward for evaluating the article and writing reviews using ORV tokens.
Licensing. Choice of license by the author at its discretion: open access, paid viewing, paid use, etc.
Independent decentralized journals will be created within the ecosystem, which will facilitate the process of publication, and later the search for the necessary information for further research. For organizations, research centers will be available corporate framework that will increase productivity in teamwork.
To improve the security and protection of the account, user identification is provided by the ORCID standard.
What is remarkable about the project and how is it different from other startups of this type?
Platform developers Orvium worked the process down to the smallest detail, giving the advantages:
Authors of scientific researchers. For example, you write a scientific dissertation or a short note (discovered a new type of bacteria, found an effective way to recycle waste, etc.). Thanks to blockchain, the entire life cycle of a scientific article, thesis, fiction is tracked in the smallest details, and therefore no lengthy verification and confirmation of authorship. You save a lot of nerves, time and, of course, money.
The system analyzes the material and looks for possible matches in the process of working on the content. You can publish an article as soon as you finish working on it. You are the copyright holder, any further use of your work and data obtained during the experiment will be recorded in the blockchain, the platform will transfer you the reward automatically. No one will appropriate your work! Everything is fair and square.
Researchers. Orvium will simplify access to a huge array of scientific data. For example, you are investigating the reaction of tumor cells to a particular drug. You can find the results of experiments conducted in this direction by other laboratories in a few clicks. No fuss with obtaining permission to use the materials in your study. You simply copy the material, and the system automatically tracks the license and, if necessary, distributes the remuneration between the authors of various publications according to the current license.
Science and society in General. Orvium will simplify the publication, access to data and at the same time protect the rights of researchers, authors of scientific articles.
Copyright protection, fair distribution of remuneration will attract more successful authors and scientists. With easy access to a universal experimental database, new studies will be less time-consuming and their results can be made public without delay. As a result, less time will pass from the perspective opening to its implementation in life, which will accelerate scientific and technological progress in General.
Tokens, ICO
The platform launches its own cryptocurrency - ORV. The first stage provides for the sale of tokens to attract investment for the development of the project. In the future, the digital currency will be used to gain access to closed content, pay for reviewers, reward authors when using published materials and experimental data.
ORV tokens will simultaneously stimulate the development of the platform and support scientific research. Even small laboratories in remote regions will be able to receive material support. The main criterion is the usefulness and relevance of research.
A total of 379 million ORV tokens will be issued. The exchange rate is 1 ORV = $ 0.10. 200 million tokens will be available for public sale. Pre-sale start: June-July 2018.
Orvium is capable of more than simplifying the publication of scientific articles. The platform can change our world. And this is a worthwhile argument to look at the project.
