EUREKA – A Minimal Operational Prototype of a Blockchain-based Rating and Publishing System

Abstract:
Today's number of reputable academical publishers is dominated by few key players. This imbalance of supply and demand in publishing academic work makes the entire process inefficient. EUREKA is a blockchain-based scientific publishing platform, developed to address this imbalance. It offers the opportunity of a fair reward distribution for all contributors and immediate ownership rights to authors of an article. For the demonstration, the platform including the back-end and frontend integrated into the Ethereum blockchain is shown, and the interaction processes of users i.e., authors and reviewers are presented.
