«PUBLISH OR PERISH» IS A RULE THAT WORKS IN SCIENCE.
The world needs scientists to solve the biggest problems of our time, from climate change to non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and DNA. In order to make a discovery, scientists conduct research, often based on the experience of other scientists.
Do you know which country in the world spends the most money on the development of science and research?
Ranking of countries in the world by the value of R&D costs (research and development):
- US $511.1 billion
- China - $451.2 billion
- Japan - $168.6 billion
- Germany - $118.5 billion
- Republic of Korea- $ 79.4 billion
An interesting fact is that business often pays for research, not the state. For example, Amazon has spent $22.6 billion on research, Alphabet company (100% owner of Google) - $16.6 billion, Intel - $13.1 billion, Apple - $11.6 billion.
All research must be published
Scientific research requires considerable time, money and effort. The achieved results can not be considered fully valid until they can be used by other researchers, referring to them in their works.Scientific papers should be available not only within one country, but throughout the world. In addition, many researchers for the publication of their articles receive a material reward. And this fact is very well to stimulate the scientists. In addition, the positive aspects of the publication of articles is to improve the image, international recognition, the opportunity to gain fame.
However, today the process of publishing a scientific article by the author is not perfect and requires changes.Currently, the process of publication is a very long process, with the possibility of information leakage, as well as the deprivation of authors ' rights, licenses.To publish in a prestigious publication, the author will have to spend a considerable amount of money, but not all talented scientists have such sums and the publication remains within one country.The volume of all research is huge, so ideally a single global database with scientific publications is needed
ORVIUM
Orvium is a decentralized platform developed on the basis of blockchain technology to store all scientific publications. The project aims to make the whole process of publishing scientific articles transparent, safe, with high processing speed, easily controlled, automatic, large-scale.
It is a global platform for all scientists, researchers, research centers and institutes working on blockchain technology and smart contracts.
Important features of the platform are: copyright protection, transparent review, availability of any publication from the first day of registration on the platform, the ability to make changes to the publication by the authors of works, the ability for each author to create their own journals.
Orvium token (ORV)–the internal currency on the platform, which will be a means of payment as a reward for reviewing, payment for the use of content.
Token Type – ERC 20
Hard Cap - $ 20 million
Price – 1 ORV -0,10 USD
Just imagine, now all the articles will be stored on the blockchain, which means that it is the absolute security of copyright works, without the possibility of fraudulent theft. The project opens a global platform for the publication of scientific research and open access to scientific publications, which means that the project will attract the General public to science.
This is a new level of storage, availability and security, reputation and speed of placement of all scientific research.
