Thanks for linking those links in #3 espeically the one titled:
"Clinical Trials Show the Blockchain Can Stop 'Fraudulent' Science"
Quote from that article:
A digital ledger such as the blockchain could have prevented quite a few misleading medical findings over the past couple of years. This includes when publisher Springer had to retract 64 articles in 2015 from its journals. Sister company BioMed Central later removed 43 articles for fraudulent findings within the researched data.
What a joke. How many illegitimate articles are published by the science industry everyday??
I don't know, let's just look at the numbers while asking ourselves are we getting worse or better?
