A blockchain-powered peer-reviewed journal could be issued as a token system to reward contributors, reviewers, editors, commentators, forum participants, advisors, staff, consultants, and indirect service providers involved in scientific publishing (Swan, 2015).
Such rewards could be in the form of reputation and/or remuneration, potentially through a form of digital currency (say Science Coins). Through a system of community trust, blockchains could be used to handle the following tasks:
1. Authenticating scientific papers (using time stamps and checksums), combating fraudulent science;
2. Allowing and encouraging reviewers to actively engage in the scientific community;
3. Rewarding reviewers for peer reviews with Science Coins;
4. Allowing authors to contribute by giving Science Coins;
5. Supporting verification and replicability of research.
6. Keeping reviewers and authors anonymous, while providing a validated certification of their identity as researchers, and rewarding them.
