Introducing Orvium - Science meets with Blockchain

By 2015, there are an estimated 9 million active researchers. They publish between 1.8 and 2 million articles per year, generating over 2.5 billion downloads from the publisher's website STM (Scientific, Technical, and Medical). These numbers grow 3 to 3.5% annually and do not consider open access models that represent an important percentage. To provide context for the numbers, 3 billion downloads are the total number of apps downloaded from the iTunes Apple store during the first 3 years of existence. The scientific publication industry today is one of the most profitable in the world. By 2015, only the global STM publishing market is expected to reach $ 25 billion,

Take a look at the Picture and Programs of Orvium ICO below.Orvium is the first open source and decentralized framework for managing the life cycle of scientific publications and related data.

A project in the development of science for the benefit of society.Orvium is the first open source and decentralized framework to manage the life cycle of scientific publications and related data.

Our goal is to help the scientific community share publications, eliminate inefficiencies and biases that exist in the publication market and improve the quality and effectiveness of the publicity lifecycle.

In conclusion ultimately in achieving the goal to be implemented is to become a leading publication platform for the research community while restoring the benefits of science to society

For future platform preparations on already-implemented technologies such as blockchains and smart contracts, Orvium also embraces large data analytics and machine learning technologies to build intelligent digital infrastructure for scientific publishing management.

Integrating heterogeneous data sources such as transactions in blockchain, existing research literature and connections between researchers and publications, Orvium will be able to calculate impact factors in an optimal way, identify citations and peer review rings, automatically classify papers based on content-based or trend-identifying areas and emerging topics in a particular research community, they are all set to address future challenges.

In the next step to launch this program Orvium uses blockchain technology and decentralized storage to create public records that are fully accessible to the public, trackable and reliable of the publication process.

So any relevant action in the publishing process such as paper submissions and peer reviews will be listed in blockchain and accessible to anyone, making science more transparent, universal and open than ever and accessible to anyone in need.

Orvium Disorders

The Science Revolution in Blockchain

Decentralized Model

Orvium unlocks the full potential of a decentralized, fair, transparent and competitive market, free from bias, oligopoly and self-interest.

Zero-delay publication

Scientific work is available from the moment of submission. Orvium establishes evidence of independent, decentralized and enduring existence, author and ownership.

Traceability complete life cycle

The public footprint of all activity is stored in blockchain: submission, revision, acceptance and rejection of peer review, copyright and user license changes, etc.

The author selects the license and owns the copyright

Orvium produces bespoke licensed models with designs. The model is always the author's own decision.

Data and Research Process

Orvium empowers scientists to share their complete study by providing research data, codes, etc. This increases scientific validity.

Big Data Analytics and Machine Learning

Orvium integrates Big Data Analytics with blockchain. This opens valuable insights to increase scientific production.

Decentralized Journal

Decentralized journals offer low maintenance, highly flexible, cost-effective and autonomous ways to fully handle and categorize scientific literature, while offering additional business lines for authors and editors.

Collaborative Environment

Orvium provides a collaborative framework for each process related to the life cycle of the manuscript.

Involve Society in Scientific Evolution

Orvium calls on the general public to redefine the journal, to create challenges that increase scientific validity and to promote patronage campaigns in both the public and private sectors.

Hidden Issues Scientific Issues

Contrary to what most people think, the scientific publishing industry is one of the most important and profitable in the world. The global market is estimated at $ 25 billion and profit margins have been reported to exceed those of companies like Google, Amazon, and Apple. To achieve this, publishers have incorporated costs and publicity efforts into the communities they serve.

First, the government funded most of the research and once the research results are ready for publishers to get it for free. Second, most of the editorial burden is done by scientists voluntarily, their salaries are usually paid by governments and research institutions. Finally, publishers sell products back to government-funded institutions and university libraries, which, in a collective sense, create the product in the first place.

However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Scientific publishers have created a publication model that destroys the research community and, broadly, science in general. One of the problems is the high cost of publications that writers have to face, in some cases up to 3,000-5,000 USD per publication, except researchers with fewer resources.In addition, authors are forced to grant publishers the right to exploit their content commercially without any levy.

On top of that, the fees to be paid by universities and public institutions to subscribe to scientific journals are also increasingly alarming. For example, over the past 20 years, the cost of a scientific journal subscription has increased by an average of 7% each year in the United States. In some cases, universities are forced to reduce the number of subscriptions because they can not afford them.
There are more problems, such as long, blurry and often biased publication processes, lack of appreciation and recognition for reviewers; and the proliferation of low-quality journals, just to name a few of them.

Orvium benefits for scientific publishing:

Copyright and special license
Authors and research institutes have full control over their copyright and licensing of their publications and work.

Zero-delay publication
Within seconds, establish independent, decentralized and enduring independence, independent and decentralized evidence of existence, authorship in blockchain.

The works of the researcher are truly acknowledged and their impact
Scientists are openly rewarded and gained good reputation acting as writers and reviewers.

Support for research data
It is possible to share data and research code with a specific community or team, including unpublished data to drive future research.

The journal is decentralized
Provide a global platform for the creation and maintenance of scientific journal management at low cost.

Patronage of science
Anyone can contribute to a research program and challenge the scientific community to solve a particular problem.

Social platform

The whole community can participate and provide work feedback from other researchers that enhance collaboration and knowledge dissemination.
