Fusion mode of blockchain technology and open peer review
[Purposes]This study aims to build a fusion mode of blockchain technology and open peer review,solve some problems existing in the open peer review mode,and explore a high-quality academic review system for scientific journals.[Methods]By analyzing the necessity and problems of open peer review mode and the characteristics of blockchain and IPFS technologies,the fusion mode of blockchain technology and open peer review was constructed.[Findings]By applying blockchain and IPFS technologies to an open peer review mode,the problems of identity authentication and participation scope of all parties involved in the review are effectively solved through smart contracts and channel capabilities.Two intangible and tangible incentive mechanisms are put forward,forming effective constraints while enhancing the enthusiasm of all parties involved.[Conclusions]Blockchain technology can effectively solve some problems existing in the current open peer review.While ensuring fairness and openness,it can also effectively ensure the security and privacy of information of all parties involved.However,there is still a long way to go before the fusion mode is implemented,which needs in-depth study in terms of policy,infrastructure,and technology.
