RE: So you wanted to be a scientist? Let me tell you what's happening in academia today!
Your posting is very good and realistic. I think the blockchain will minimize the possibility that ideas will be stolen or disrespected when we find the decentralized way of publishing patents. I think today, with a little effort, the blockchain is already a space to publish ideas and leave evidence to answer fraudulent patents.
On the publication of useless scientific works only to make number, I imagine that at some point we will have the reputation of the authors and the works to diminish this tendency.
Thanks for your comment!!
I think the same.
Blockchain technology is probably useful for many other things than we currently realize. Imagine running open access on the blockchain. It would solve more than one problem.
After publication of the paper on a blockchain, verification of investigation results by other atuhors could also be independently linked so it is immediatly obvious if results are reproducible or not. The whole quoting system would be much more useful if you can trace reproducibility.
