Blockchain: Erueka - The next-generation open science platform

EUREKA is a scientific review and rating platform fuelled by the EUREKA token from EKA Blockchain Solutions GmbH. Blockchain has the capacity to open science and make research findings immutable, transparent and decentralised. EUREKA revolutionises the scientific publishing and reviewing process by making it more efficient and fair using the EUREKA token to compensate all parties involved. Scientific discoveries can now be openly rated and rewarded based on the quality of the research.

SCIENCE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY

Inefficient market undergoing pressure to change.

PROBLEMS WITH THE CURRENT PUBLISHING SYSTEM

Overreliance of trust.
Absence of fair credit for contributor.

SOLUTION

EUREKA Platform : a token-operated science publishing ecosystem on a blockchain.

Immediate timestamping, ownership and archiving of observations including negative and replication studies.
Crowdsourced open review.
Smart contract-based payment of authors, peer-reviewers and editors.

Faster and more efficient research. Faster cures for diseases.
