Today, science is developing rapidly and every day there are new works and publications. Accordingly, there is a need to develop reliable tools for storage and analysis of huge amounts of data coming from various branches of science. The current means are far from ideal and are not capable of providing a sufficient level of copyright security for scientific publications, as well as their long-term storage and quick access to them at any time.

It is also worth noting the detrimental impact of centralization in the field of publishing. The TOP 5 companies that work in this industry attract about 60–70% of the total turnover. Such monopolization greatly complicates the development and popularization of scientific knowledge.

The Orvium project aims to create a more efficient market and improve the quality of scientific publications.

Orvium Platform. Storage, Analysis, Distribution Of Scientific Publications.

Orvium is a decentralized platform for storing, analyzing and distributing various scientific publications. It is based on smart contracts and blockchain technology, which allows to exclude intermediaries-publishers, various government agencies, etc.

The Main Advantages Of Orvium

• Scientific papers that are placed on the platform become available in a matter of minutes, bypassing multiple checks, various bureaucratic delays and unscrupulous employees.
• All copyrights and licenses are fixed in the blockchain and assigned to the publication forever, which allows the author to manage his works alone.
• Publication costs are minimal due to the lack of monopolistic printing and publishing organizations influence.
• Due to the presence of a stimulating program, reviewers will be involved to write reviews of scientific publications. All reviews left will be evaluated by the community and this assessment will affect the amount of the award.
• Within the platform, special subsystems will be created that allow representatives of the scientific community to communicate freely with each other.

Thus, by increasing the level of decentralization in the scientific publications field, it becomes more effective and accessible to science representatives.

How Will The Orvium Platform Work?

Conventionally, there are 4 levels of user interaction with the platform:

• Registration and identification. Anyone can create their own account to access the system. If you register as an author, you must be authenticated by the ORCID system and verified within the platform.
• Publication of works. By uploading works to the platform, the author creates a public proof of his own publication existence, as well as authorship proof. All data is permanently stored in the blockchain. At the same time, any downloaded work can be updated - the system will store all its versions. The author pays a certain amount to the platform in ORV tokens for placing the work.
• Peer review. All users who act as reviewers on the Orvium platform can leave feedback on any published work. This will be available to all members of the community. Authors can set the volume of necessary reviews and award for their writing. In addition, any other user can ask the reviewer to leave their feedback on someone else's work for an additional fee.
• Licensing. Licensing fully vested in the authors - they define the rights for printing, translation, the use of their materials.

ERC-20 tokens ORV will be used as the main payment means on the Orvium platform. Tokens can be used to pay for the placement of works, writing reviews, etc. Join the ICO on the official website of the project: https://orvium.io/

Conclusion

There is no denying the real need for a platform like Orvium. This is due to the fact that the market for scientific publications suffers greatly from monopolization and centralization by major players. Orvium will make it more open, transparent and accessible to representatives of science at various levels.

Risk assessment of this project is more related to external factors-will the community be ready to adopt modern technologies? However, the platform has a lot of positive aspects that make it very promising.
