ScienceMatters’ Blockchain Based Solution - REWARD system

Currently, scientists must be trusted to provide a true and useful representation of their research results in their final publication; blockchain would make much larger parts of the research cycle open to scientific self correction.
While the current centralised solution solves important issues in academic publishing, a blockchain-based solution can go even further.
Many parts of the research cycle including hypothesis generation, discovery, attribution, incentivisation (e.g., via smart contracts), and publication and dissemination can all be done via blockchain.  We introduce REWARD - a blockchain based solution that can used for both publishing as well as incentivisation of all stake-holders involved.
