Scientific Publication Industry and Orvium Token
In early scholarly publishing, the majority of high-quality journals were published by professional, scientific societies. The rise of commercial, for-profit publishers led to a proliferation of scientific journals. Instead of publishing being driven by scientific advancement as it was in the past, it now took motivation from profit.
Currently, for-profit scientific publishing houses control the flow of information in the scientific world. With this, institutions such as university libraries are asked to pay for subscriptions to journals and authors are additionally required to pay what’s known as an Article Publishing Charge (APC) to publish their work as open access.
While the transition from print to digital publications may have eliminated some costs such as printing, paper, and distribution, the world of peer reviewed, data-enriched journals is still an expensive business. The shift to a digital environment puts more pressure on publishers to make both publishing and reading a seamless experience for the user. Fast turn-around, articles that are easy to navigate, robust search tools, instantaneous accumulations of statistics, sophisticated digital library platforms, and articles optimized for search engines are all costs that fall back on the publisher. APCs have been one outlet for publishers to cover those costs.
Model of businesss for Orvium
Orvium establishes a transparent and comprehensive business model to obtain and increase revenue while supporting global research. Orvium’s business model is built on the orvarium token. The different phases of a manuscripts and journals life cycles, such as manuscript submission, peer review, payments for copyright licenses, research data sharing, journal management etc will generate exchanges of ORV between institutions, authors, peer reviews, journal owners, readers and any social actor involved. This decentralization will unlock the full potential of a new, fair, transparent and competitive market controlled by the entire community, free of biased oligopolies and hidden interest.
Mission of Orvium
Orvium works to eliminate market ineffeciencies and improve the quality and effectiveness of scientic publishing. The ultimate objective is for orvium to be the leading publication platformfor the research community while returning the benefits of science to the society.
According to Wajeha Nasir (1996),The advancement in science has been nothing short of a human revolution that has impacted every sphere of life. A man in the 15th century could hardly imagine that one day life would be like this. But where it has helped the human race in so many ways, it has also registered its negative impact. A main worry is that the speed with which science is progressing is far greater than the evolution and development of human mind. This theory has been rightly propounded by famous philosopher Bertrand Russell. There is hardly any doubt that this has led human being to use science mostly for the wrong reasons including death, war and crimes. It is likewise quite alarming to know that theories and principles of science are gradually replacing man’s belief and faith. Technology and science has also made man into a modern machine so to speak as it is common to see emotions like compassion, brotherhood and other feelings are already in short supply. More than anything else the modern civilisation needs faith and brotherhood.
