Science has always been mankind's friend when no one else was. It has always and will always accompany us in our endeavours. It has been the forefront of anything that we achieve. It is considered as much as an Art as it considered as a technical entity.
While at the beginning we associated everything as Science, but since then this field has widened to such a vast extent that there is basically nothing out there that is not associated with Science. It was the one that provided with answers, let the humanity as a whole enjoy the benefits of what the nature and universe has to offer.
It is divided, but helps unite many laws and workings. It is spearheaded by a lot of different people, but helps humanity as a whole. It cannot be ignored at any case. Just as we need Art or a culture or a religion to ground us, Science is also as important as the things I mentioned above. It's even considered as a Religion by many nowadays, but let's not get into that.
The Science as a field is headed by many people as I had mentioned above and they collaborate with all those like-minded experts around the World or at most times they operate alone. Any findings or invention that they make, they immediately publish it, so that the World may benefit from it. This is non-profit and charity of sorts, while helping them establish a name and reputation for themselves and earning enough to sustain themselves.
But there exists a fundamental flaw in way the current publication system works. It is somewhat of an awkward system where the Government funds the researchers and scientists, while they hire an external agency to scrutinise their work and ask for them to publish, which finally ends up being sold back to us and the same Government that sponsored it in the first place.
This also means the ones who initiated and did the research get paid less than what they deserve and the publisher usually retains the rights that actually belong to the Researcher and the Government.
Orvium Platform
They plan on changing the Scientific Publishing industry drastically by implementing Blockchain Technology to this. If implemented as specified by the Team behind this Project, then we could see a lot of changes and freedom brought back to the scientists and researchers.
It will allow them to finally receive the benefits that they duly deserve. They will get paid the whole amount instead of having a Publication House taking a cut out of it.
The Blockchain, being fully transparent and decentralised will help in reversing the current highly centralised state. It will also help in retaining and allowing the public to see who owns the rights to the Published Papers.
ICO & Team
They plan on introducing an Ethereum based ERC 20 Token to power their platform. Their Pre-Sale begins in June and their Main-Sale begins in July. They plan to keep the sale open for a month or untill Hard-Cap is reached (whichever occurs first). It requires for you to be registered and KYC verified to be able to participate in the ICO.
They have a really large team with impressive credentials, with the Founders being based from projects and companies like CERN, Volkswagen Data Lab, Asos respectively. They are supported by a group of Scientific Advisors, Business Strategy Analysts, Techs, Blockchain Devs, Big Data Specialists.
They have already partnered with quite a few companies in the field to showcase their Project and have lots of appearances in upcoming Blockchain related Events.
Conclusion
They are the first to spearhead into this field, allowing them to take the lead. It also helps to the fact that those behind the project have worked in the current standards and know its flaws and shortcomings.
They have a really strong team and backing of even more experienced members in the community and this is something that could help Scientific Innovations and Progress drastically that is currently monopolized by the Publishing Industry. We must also take in the fact that they are going head to head with very well-established folks with deep pockets.
But with the advantages that Blockchain brings to the table, this has every right to succeed and they will be doing a great service to the Community as a whole.
