Orvium-Open and Transparent Science Powered By Blockchain

Orvium is the first open source and decentralized framework for managing scholarly publications’ life cycles and the associated data.

Orvium unlocks the full potential of a decentralized, fair, transparent and competitive market, free of biases, oligopolies and private interests.

Scientific work is available from the moment it is submitted. Orvium establishes an independent, decentralized and immutable time-stamped proof of existence, authorship and ownership.

A public trace of all the activity is kept in the blockchain: submission, revisions, accepted and rejected peer reviews, copyright and user license changes, etc.

Orvium produces bespoke licensing models by design. The model is always the author's own decision.

Orvium empowers scientists to share their complete studies by making available research data, code, etc. This increases scientific validity.

Orvium integrates Big Data Analytics with the blockchain. This unlocks valuable insights to improve scientific production.

Decentralized journals offer a low maintenance, highly flexible, cost effective and completely autonomous way of handling and categorizing scientific literature, while offering an additional line of business for authors and editors.

Orvium provides a collaborative framework for any single process related to the manuscript life cycle.

Orvium invites the general public to redefine journals, to create challenges that increase scientific validity and to promote patronage campaigns in both the public and private sectors.
