If research and experiments through science and technology brings forth technological advancements, it is safe to say that actions like; withholding/delaying the release of publications, making them overly expensive, not properly crediting authors for the work done, and the other negative practices of the current small circle of scholarly publishers in charge of circulating the world's scientific knowledge is, in fact, holding back the world's technological growth.
The Orvium platform not only makes scientific publications easy to create, review and publish, but it also offers a lot more to the scientific community in order to promote science and technology.
Some of the barriers that researchers encounter in the present world publishing system have been discussed in the Orvium project WHITEPAPER. Nevertheless, they include social factors, technological factors required to make successful research, and finally the cost and policies that are required before a complete scientific material is finished and can be made available to the community.
Orvium is able to use the blockchain as an infrastructure to create a platform that provides the scientific community with the right scholarly publications across different fields by breaking down all the barriers that exist in the present system.
What Orvium Offers
Reduced Publication Costs: Orvium is able to reduce the cost of publications by allowing the community to contribute to tasks that previously required a lot of money to complete, tasks like paper reviews can now be done by the community in a peer to peer manner. This is done by the qualified members of the community who are then rewarded for their service.
Supporting Scientific Research: According to the project whitepaper, it is said that "Orvium as a platform will be able to fund research projects that have a clear impact on the community". This is done in an open way that can be publicly verified through the blockchain, this is a big step from the current system in which a lot of responsibilities are left to the centralized bodies.
The Orvium platform offers a lot more in the promotion of science and technology, all of which can be found in the project's whitepaper.
By breaking down the barriers of the present system, Orvium is able to solve the problems of the centralized bodies benefiting from a Triple-pay structure in which centralized publishers enjoy a three way funding system by receiving government grants, reviewers and volunteers paid by the government as well as selling back their work to the government. This is what the small circle of centralized scholarly publishers enjoy while thousands of researchers and authors worldwide lack the required funding to contribute their ideas, work, and results to science and technology.
I discussed in my previous article a few of the scientific breakthroughs over the past year and this has the potential to increase in multiple folds with Orvium.
The Orvium platform and entire ecosystem are powered by Orvium tokens which will be given as a reward to everyone in the community that plays a role in producing scientific publications. This will be used in paying the reviewers and will be used for funding research projects. Payments with Orvium tokens have public records and can be verified on the blockchain, creating a system of trust and transparency.
