Science is now the basic unit of life. The whole universe is now revolving greatly around science, starting from the old age into our modern dispensation. Technology has really taken up due to numerous researches conducted by various scientists around the globe. Day in day out various publications comes out in the name of science (researches). Though we all are beneficiaries of these publications, the question is how did those publications come into existence, the cost involve, and the quality of these publications. As we all know that the publication branch is very huge, are they being fair and transparent to us, does these publishers value the impact of these researches on the society. Another vital question that raises concern is after the publication is made, do money generated moves back into science (researches) or not. Orvium is here to bridge the gap and ensure sanity and efficiency in the publication sector. Orvium is the first open source and decentralized framework for managing scholarly publications’ life cycles and the associated data. Orvium introduces a disruptive business model into the research publication market through a unique combination of four core technologies:
• blockchain and smart contracts
• decentralized storage
• cloud computing
• big data analytics and machine learning.
Using blockchain technology and a decentralized storage approach which will allow the public, fully traceable, and trustworthy record of the publication process at a minimal cost.The cloud computing technology used on this platform will provide flexibility, global availability and services. Finally, big data analytics and machine learning will enable advanced analysis to enhance life cycle automatization, facilitate efficient peer review accuracy (e.g., identify plagiarism), classify papers based on their content and identify emerging trends and topics.
The objective of Orvium is to make publications easily accessible, eliminate existing inefficiencies and biases of the publication market and improve the quality and effectiveness of the publication cycle. Orvium’s model focuses on the following areas:
• Help to enhance science to human heritage
• Offer a business model that returns benefits to science
• Make science more transparent, universal and open access than ever before
• Truly recognize researchers’ work and its impact
• Maximize scientific validation and collaboration
• Incorporate society in the scientific process and its evolution
The current scientific publication industry is one of the most lucrative worldwide. It is difficult to find more accurate numbers since they are not made public by the parties involved. Most institutions worldwide sign a non-disclosure agreements (NDA) about the cost of their contracts with their publishers.
Orvium plans to introduce an efficient and simple strategies to overcomes market entry barriers. These strategies includes
• Breaking publication cost barriers
• Improving knowledge dissemination
• Supporting research
• Enhancing R&D collaboration frameworks
• Opening source development
ORVIUM TOKEN
The essence of this platform is to become the leading platform for researchers, research institutions and scientific editors to manage the publication industry. Orvium offers numerous advantages to accomplish this goal, while drastically reducing the costs associated with publication. Any individual can create an account to access the system.
Orvium will support popular authentication methods such as single sign-on integrated with google or facebook. Researchers will use ORCID as an authentication method. In order to prevent identity impersonation in the blockchain, ORV tokens will be used for virtually all activities on the platform. This might include the ORV token used:
• during submission
• for peer reviews rewards
• to pay for licensing model
• for journal management
• for patronage model
Last but not least Orvium will provide an app with a user friendly interface that will facilitate their activities such as; write and prepare scientific manuscripts, read and annotate them, find and organize article references, follow researchers and topics on the platform.
