ORVIUM

OPEN AND TRANSPARENT SCIENCE POWERED BY BLOCKCHAIN

Open and Transparent Science Powered By Blockchain

Orvium is the first open source and decentralized framework for managing scholarly publications’ life cycles and the associated data

About Orvium

Orvium unlocks the full potential of a decentralized, fair, transparent and competitive market free of biases, oligopolies and private interests. Scientific work is available from the moment it is submitted. Orvium establishes an independent, decentralized and immutable time-stamped proof of existence, authorship and ownership. Keeps in the blockchain a public trace of all the activity: submission, revisions, accepted and rejected peer reviews, copyright and user license changes, etc. Orvium is agnostic about licensing models by design. The model is always author’s decision. Orvium empowers scientists to share the complete study by making available research data, code, etc. This increase scientific validation. Orvium integrates Big Data Analytics with the blockchain. This unlocks valuable insights to improve scientific production. Decentralized journals offer a low maintenance, highly flexible, cost effective and completely autonomous way to handle and categorize scientific literature while offering a further line of business for authors and editors. Orvium provides a collaborative framework for any single process related to the manuscript life cycle. Orvium opens the definition of journals, the creation of challenges to increase scientific validation and the promotion of patronage campaigns to the general public.

ORVIUM DISRUPTION

Science Revolution in the Blockchain

Decentralized Model

Orvium unlocks the full potential of a decentralized, fair, transparent and competitive market free of biases, oligopolies and private interests.

Zero-delay Publication

Scientific work is available from the moment it is submitted. Orvium establishes an independent, decentralized and immutable time-stamped proof of existence, authorship and ownership.

Full lifecycle traceability

Keeps in the blockchain a public trace of all the activity: submission, revisions, accepted and rejected peer reviews, copyright and user license changes, etc.

Authors select license and own the copyright

Orvium is agnostic about licensing models by design. The model is always author’s decision.

Research Data and Process

Orvium empowers scientists to share the complete study by making available research data, code, etc. This increase scientific validation.

Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning

Orvium integrates Big Data Analytics with the blockchain. This unlocks valuable insights to improve scientific production.

Decentralized Journals

Decentralized journals offer a low maintenance, highly flexible, cost effective and completely autonomous way to handle and categorize scientific literature while offering a further line of business for authors and editors.

Collaborative Environment

Orvium provides a collaborative framework for any single process related to the manuscript life cycle.

Incorporate Society to Science Evolution

Orvium opens the definition of journals, the creation of challenges to increase scientific validation and the promotion of patronage campaigns to the general public.

TRANSPARENT, UNIVERSAL, UNBIASED AND ACCESSIBLE SCIENCE

Blockchain

Every transaction (e.g., submissions of manuscripts, revisions, publications, peer reviews, oracle actions, patronage results etc.) is stored the blockchain and accessible to anyone

Decentralized Storage

Unlocks a public, globally accessible, fully traceable and trustworthy record of the publication process at a minimal cost

Big Data & Artificial Intelligence

Leverages forefront Big Data technologies and artificial intelligence developments to take scientific validation to a completely new level. Replaces the current obsolete rules by unbiased and transparent data-driven ones

Open Source Framework

Orvium’s source code will be published under an open source license and driven by the community.

THE ORVIUM (ORV) TOKEN

Efficient and Unbiased Business Model

ORV establishes a transparent, comprehensive and competitive business model to support global research.

Recognition and Reward

ORV enables a fair cost distribution model to authors, ensuring reward and recognition for all participants

Cost Effective Journals

ORV empowers journals to become viable and sustainable at a low cost

Continuous Evolution

ORV ensures a continued evolution of the platform while supporting global research.

ORVIUM TOKEN PUBLICATION MODEL

Manuscript Submission

At submission time manuscripts (initial or new version) are available to the whole community and authors can stake a number of ORV tokens to encourage and challenge the community for peer reviews. The number of ORV tokens staked for each review will be determined by the author.

Scientific Review

Reviewers can submit reviews to any manuscript at any time. Through proper analysis and public exposure of the results, Orvium allows both public recognition of reviewers’ work and a reward in the form of Orvium tokens.

Copyright and License

Orvium empowers authors full control over the licensing and copyrights. If a paid licensing model is chosen, journals and/or readers pay ORV tokens for accessing the content.

Research Data

Authors can share the data used in the research. For that authors are empowered to select the licensing and copyright model that fits their case best. This data licensing freedom will make a new research data market possible which can effectively help to share costs or get rewarded for work, which serves as the basis for others’ economic benefit

DENCENTRALIZED AUTONOMOUS JOURNALS

Smart Contract Based Journals

Journals are managed as decentralized autonomous organizations by smart contracts. Those are defined transparently by contributors, who stake ORV token and receive specific Journal Tokens.

Open and Transparent Management

The management rules are publicly available. Journal tokens empower contributors with decision capabilities using different voting and participation schemas.

Benefits are Shared Among Contributors

Contributors receive the revenues generated based on their contribution and the rules defined in the smart contract. The operational costs associated with reviews, copyright agreements and Orvium Licenses are cover by the stake of the owners.

ROADMAP

The following milestones give details about the development of the Orvium project in order to become the leading publication platform for the research community while returning the benefits of science to the society.
