Orvium - Open and Transparent Science Powered by Blockchain



Orvium is a decentralized open source platform for managing peer-reviewed scientific publications. Orvium seeks to eliminate some of the shortcomings related to the model of scientific publications, and to improve the quality and effectiveness of scientific journals.

Among the necessary issues in the scientific publishing industry are:
* Mismatch of interests: A serious problem in the scientific community is the publication model, when scientific authors pay for the publication of their scientific journals instead of the traditional publication model that pays the creators of the Content. This discrepancy arises when the scientific community conducts peer-review-the form of scientific verification necessary for scientific publication-for free, but scientific publishers receive billions annually.
* Excessive fees: high fees collected by publishers of scientific journals have created a corporate structure that potentially jeopardizes the quality of scientific research. Ultimately, the central component for the publication of a scientific journal is the fee paid to publishers.
* Copyrights for content: copyrights to scientific journals belong to publishers, not creators of scientific Content. Future incomes received as a result of repeated publication on our media or the sale of copyright on the content are owned only by publishers, not by the creators of the Content.

Apps


Because of the uncoordinated model, which potentially jeopardizes the current industry of scientific publications, there is a surge in migration to open source initiatives (egarXiv & PLOS ONE). Thus, evolution to a solution based on blockage is a natural progress that will positively upset the scientific community.

The model will work as follows:

Orvium establishes a decentralized, unchanging and independent process that provides an existence proof algorithm with a time stamp (POE), authorship and ownership of scientific content. Blocking allows Orvium to track all activities related to this content, including the first submission, changes, accepted and rejected expert assessments, changes in copyrights and user licenses, and other activities.

Orvium has a lot of functionality for stakeholders, which include:
  • Continuous, transparent review: in accordance with the openness and public accountability required for a reliable peer review process, Orvium offers this and much more, which allows reviewers to have a complete log tracking life cycle through the blockchain. The availability of access to all information from the moment of creation allows reviewers to determine the reliability and validity of scientific work. In addition, reviews can be conducted with the participation of several authors.
  • Publication of the zero day: all content-even in an early draft-is immediately available on the Internet as soon as they are transferred to the Orvium platform.
  • Versioning of manuscripts: scientific work can be systematically created on a platform with numerous changes and constantly updated versions. This means that authors can mark their work as "work in progress", and only they can see the changes. These version control capabilities improve the process of creating Content, allowing Orvium to be the solution for digitization.
  • Custom copyrights and user licenses: although Orvium facilitates the publication of public access, there are options for authors or institutions to select licensing / subscription models, since interested parties can determine user conditions (through Decentralized offline journals)
  • * Decentralized journals: this is the unique value of Orvium, which will be discussed in the following sections under the unique Differential '
  • * The placement of gray literature: traditional content or studies that do not undergo a traditional peer review or screening process will be placed on the Orvium platform to provide a more thorough peer review process and ensure that these potential knowledge nuggets can be saved and saved.

Unique Differentiator


A unique differentiator is the bulk of the project, which is worth describing.

Decentralized Autonomous Journals (DAJ): Like the Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO), Orvium allows anyone (individual authors, institutions or users) to create their own offline journals where they can define personalized management rules, licensing / subscription models, and participant rights.

Integration of social dynamics:Orvium will also be a social platform that facilitates the participation of stakeholders and users by opening a definition of journals, creating problems or rewards for surveys to enhance scientific validation, promote patronage campaigns and fund research lines for the general public. We believe that if everything is done correctly, this can be innovative, as it allows for wider participation of the general public in traditionally closed (and some will be said to be, exclusive) scientific circles. A wider mass participation would undoubtedly promote the advancement of scientific solutions that could contribute to meeting the real needs of society. Just imagine cancer research funded by the masses, not by the authors,

Command
The Orvium team looks impressively capable. Here is a rich line of engineers, developers and technical architects, led by an impressive list of scientific and business-oriented consultants. Most of their team members are affiliated with CERN, which is one of the largest and most respected institutions in the world for innovative scientific research.

Founding team:

Technical component of the team:


In engineering and development, Orvium has a strong technical team with individuals and experts from CERN and the Volkswagen Laboratory of Data. Covering a wide range of knowledge in software and computing, economics and security, it seems that Orvium is well equipped to advance its vision.

Advisers


Orvium has an outstanding list of scientific advisers from scientists to experts in well-known institutions. They include Alberto Di Meglip Ph.D., CERN Laboratory Chief Unveiled, Söderstrom Volume, Director of Technology and Innovation at the Laboratory of Jet Propulsion at NASA, and Chris Mattmann, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Technical Director and Innovation Officer, NASA and jpl , as well as a member of the Board of Directors for the Apache Software Foundation.

Road map

Economics and Utility of Tokens
Vote breakout offer Token Orvium:


Utility Tokens
Orvium is a useful token built on the Ethereum block, functioning as the main currency for the following use cases:

Award for review: researchers involved in the peer review process of scientific journals will be rewarded with ORV tokens.

Payment for the use of Content: If a paid licensing model is used, users will have to pay for accessing, downloading and reproducing the Content using ORV tokens. Orvium will take a small commission for the transaction, which at the moment is not specified

Creation and management of DAJs: Orvium holders can contribute to the creation and operation of DAJs by putting ODS markers in DAJs smart contracts

Scientific patronage: Orvium allows the public to challenge the scientific community to solve specific, urgent needs in society. Anyone can create this "problem" by placing an ORV on smart contracts and will be paid to the author of the published solution.

I believe that there are strong precedents for using ORV on the Orvium platform, given the nature of inclusiveness that the project offers. One can easily assume that the public will be interested in efforts to promote scientific discoveries and progress (especially on topical humanitarian issues), and also through the platform of scientific patronage and the creation of Daj, aimed at the general public, potentially there will be a huge thrust. Greater public participation will lead to greater demand for ORV tokens for the stapling process, which in turn will raise prices for ORV tokens, as the offer is fixed.


Strengths of the project
Extensive documentation: Orvium is distinguished by an extensive whitepaper. There is also a technical document, which details the architecture of the Orvium platform, as well as a document that provides detailed technical descriptions and benefits of the project.

Good team & advisors: Orvium is supported by a team that is technically savvy, these people have the ability to make a project successful. With outstanding advisers who include individuals from NASA, CERN and Apache foundation, it seems that Orvium has gained considerable confidence.

Strong unique value proposition: the introduction of Decentralized Autonomous Journals looks like an interesting innovation that combines the advancement of blocking technology and the scientific publishing industry, which strongly requires a systematic revision. Equally important is their mechanism of social platform, which would promote active participation of the general public; this would promote the advancement of scientific work on a number of topical issues related to humanity.

Equalization of stakeholder interests: Orvium invents a scientific publication model, encouraging researchers who participate in the peer review process, which is the main process for verifying scientific results. The distribution of the award is the most innovative and sought-after solution that offers blocking. This will strengthen the more reliable publishing system.

Strong Token Utility: The platform and functionality of Orvium provide an inclusive participation of the entire population in the promotion of scientific solutions, which in turn will increase the usefulness of tokens within its platform. Given the various uses, the ORV tokens look like tokens, which will reach high speeds in the near future.

Outcomes
Given the ineffectiveness of the scientific publishing industry, Orvium's solution is an innovative approach to the destruction not only of the industry, but also to a change to the advancement of science through its inclusive nature. With a highly competent team and outstanding advisors, Orvium looks like a blockbuster solution that has every chance to carve out a tangible leadership in this niche.
