Bounty Hunter: Orvium

Orvium - Open and Transparent Science Platform Powered by Blockchain.

Some Current Publishing Models have several issues affecting the research community, including high publishing costs, copyrights owned by publishers rather than authors, long, blurry publications and often lack of appreciation and recognition for reviewers, and low-quality journal proliferation. In recent decades, several initiatives have tried to remedy this situation. However, this initiative is not enough to reverse market inefficiencies and barriers.

The scientific publication industry has evolved and adapted. Industry has used new technologies to increase revenue and benefits, but their business model has not evolved yet. Such a model would lead to postponement of publications, obstacles to the dissemination of science, researchers, research institutions increasingly frustrated with such an application.

What Is The Orvium Platform ?

Orvium is the first open source platform with a decentralized framework to manage the lifecycle of scientific publications and related data. The Orvium platform works to eliminate market inefficiencies and improve the quality and effectiveness of scientific publishing. The ultimate goal of the Orvium platform is to become a leading publicity platform for the research community while restoring the benefits of science to the global community.

The Orvium platform uses blockchain and decentralized storage technology to create public records that are fully publicly accessible, traceable, and reliable from the publication process. Any relevant action in the publishing process such as paper submissions and peer reviews will be listed in blockchain and accessible to everyone, making science more transparent, universal and open than ever.

How Does Orvium Platform Work?

Here are some reviews of how the Orvium platform works in a Transparent, universal, uninterpretable and accessible way by All parties:

Blockchain: Any transactions (eg, manuscript submissions , revisions, publications, peer reviews, oracle actions, patronage results, etc.) Stored in blockchain and accessible to anyone.
Decentralized Storage: Opening public records, globally accessible, fully trackable and reliable from the publication process at minimal cost.
Big Data and Artificial Intelligence: Utilizing leading Data Big technology and the development of artificial intelligence to take scientific validation to an entirely new level. Replaces current obsolete rules with non-biased and transparent data-driven ones.
Open Source Template: The Orvium source code will be published under an open source license and driven by the community.

Advantages Of Orvium Platform For Users

Orvium unlocks the full potential of a decentralized, fair, transparent, and competitive marketplace, free from bias, oligopoly, and self-interest. Orvium establishes independent, decentralized, and enduring evidence of existence, authorship and ownership by keeping in public blockchain the footprint of all activities: submission, revision, acceptance and rejection of peer review, copyright and user license changes. The Orvium platform is also agnostic about licensing models based on design. The model is always the author's decision.

Orvium empowers scientists to share a complete study by making available research data, codes. This increases scientific validation. Orvium integrates Big Data Analytics with blockchain. This opens valuable insights to increase scientific production. The decentralized journal offers a low-maintenance, highly flexible, cost-effective and fully autonomous way to handle and categorize scientific literature while offering further business lines for authors and editors. Orvium provides a collaborative framework for each process related to the life cycle of the manuscript. Orvium opens the definition of a journal, creating challenges to improve scientific validation and promotion of patronage campaigns to the general public.

The following table summarizes the main advantages of Orvium compared to the current industry model:
