Autonomous, bidding, credible, decentralized, ethical, and funded (ABCDEF) publishing

Area of Science:

• Scientific publishing and research management
• Decentralized Science (DeSci)
• Web3 technology applications

Background:

• Current scientific operations like research, ethics reviews, and funding face optimization challenges.
• Previous methods, such as the trinity review, have implementation shortcomings regarding management and reviewer incentives.
• Decentralized science (DeSci) using blockchain offers potential improvements to the scientific ecosystem.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a new decentralized system for integrating scientific operations.
• To enhance the speed, fairness, and transparency of scientific research and publishing.
• To address the implementation and incentive issues of previous DeSci models.

Main Methods:

• Development of a novel system named ABCDEF publishing.
• Integration of ethics reviews, peer reviews, and funding mechanisms.
• Leveraging Web3 technology for decentralized implementation.

Main Results:

• The proposed ABCDEF publishing system aims to streamline scientific workflows.
• It is designed to operate in a decentralized manner, enhancing transparency.
• The system seeks to improve the overall efficiency and equity of scientific publishing.

Conclusions:

• ABCDEF publishing offers a Web3-based solution to current scientific ecosystem challenges.
• This decentralized approach promises to significantly enhance research and publishing processes.
• The system provides a framework for more transparent, fair, and rapid scientific endeavors.
