RE: Understanding Research - Peer Review

in #science7 years ago

Do you see any applications for blockchain technology in peer reviews? I'm not in the STEM world, but I do know that there's been instances of faking research, misaligned incentives in peer reviews, etc. Maybe the "sealing in amber" effect of blockchain tech could be used for publishing papers? Or the data collection process of papers?

I'm a bit out of my depth, but just popped into my head. Great post as always!

Can be useful, can make everything worse. Just because something is stored forever doesn't mean it should be stored forever because people would still lie.

Just read through the "new" section. People aren't impressed by the fact that everything is stored.
