You got my attention with "a new kind of Scientific Journal".
I have been working with similar concepts of late and I would like to hear more of your ideas. For example, it could be more than just journals. The funding, laboratories, bioinformatics and myriad other things can be incorporated into the blockchain. If automated experiments, funding and results were logged into the blockchain like upvotes and posts are input into Streemit, scientists could be paid automatically for what their efforts are worth and get credit for their efforts. Patents would be digital contracts and science would build upon itself utlizing what went before make advancements and pay royalties to those who went before.
I look forward to your response...
