Why Choose This Project?

Traditional scientific publishing platforms are centralized, often involving high publication fees, long review times, and restricted access. This blockchain-based publishing platform allows researchers to publish, review, and share scientific papers transparently. By recording submissions, reviews, and citations on the blockchain, the platform ensures authenticity, immutability, and fair recognition for authors.
