Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper studies the whole-process application of blockchain technology in peer review, and discusses how to solve a series of problems in the traditional peer review process one by one, so as to provide a new idea for the high-quality development of scientific peer review. [Methods] According to the sequence of "before, during, and after evaluation", we combed the peer review problems that can be solved by blockchain technology step by step, and analyzed the feasibility of the whole-process application of blockchain technology in peer review through typical case study. [Findings] Blockchain technology can be applied to many important links in the whole process of peer review, improving the scientificity, transparency, and openness of peer review on the premise of accurate matching of reviewers, traceability of review process, dual track compensation for peer review, and shunt protection of reviewers' privacy. [Conclusions] Blockchain technology can solve the inherent problems in peer review, such as low matching of reviewers, non-traceability of review process, lack of compensation mechanism for peer review, and hidden dangers of reviewer's privacy protection, so as to boost the process of open science.
