The issue with science publishing is well-known due to its management by publishing companies that rely on unpaid contributions from scientists, reviewers, and editors to produce papers. However, these companies then impose high fees to access the published papers. Despite the public often indirectly funding the research and publication through taxes, they are frequently required to pay again to access the same content. The significant fees, often reaching five figures in $USD, contradict the idea of scientific knowledge as a and instead lead to substantial profits for a small group of publishers.
By harnessing the capabilities of blockchain, specifically within the framework of Scisets Ra, the recording of academic interactions and the creation of valuable "data/scripts value" occur through peer-to-peer interactions, circumventing the need for a central overseeing entity. This revolutionary approach serves as a robust defense against the issues plaguing traditional systems. Its implementation establishes a formidable defense mechanism for preserving copyrights, managing licensing, and exercising access control to counteract fraudulent activities. Moreover, it assures the enduring existence of scholarly records while offering transparency and an auditable path for each academic contribution. In an era marked by the proliferation of misinformation and the ever-mounting challenges to the integrity of scholarly conversations, the integration of blockchain into the realm of academic publishing transcends innovation; it emerges as an imperative.

Although free and open-access platforms such as , , , and university repositories exist, they lack robust quality control mechanisms and are susceptible to tampering, misrepresentation, and unjustified retractions. While these platforms assign to identify research, and provides persistent digital identifiers for researchers, they lack detailed tracking of the journey from the inception of a scientific idea to its final innovative realization.
Furthermore, these platforms lack comprehensive quality control and , and they often do not provide article-level metrics. Consequently, they are mainly used to share work before submission to traditional publishers. SciHub allows unauthorized and illegal free access to published papers, and only after publishers have received payment and imposed strict copyright regulations. This results in a significant gap for accessible science papers and data that possess both legitimacy and a proper incentive system.
Blockchain stands out as a prominent example among the array of , distinguished by its decentralized structure that guarantees the immutability of recorded academic endeavors. Once an academic work finds its place within the blockchain, it cannot be altered or deleted without leaving a trace.
