Blocktrust

Additional Info

In science, reputation measurements have a direct impact on how funds are distributed across research institutions and fields. Nevertheless, there is still controversy about the utilization of certain industry scores, as they may cause a bias in the science production itself. Researchers may unbalance their focus in favour of productivity, fostering the “publish or perish” paradigm, rather than on research quality. Fair reputational models are a clear need in science and many other industries. The advantage of BlockTrust using Blockchain technologies can help not only the research community but other industries proposing their own models based on their specific metrics compliant to the model technical requirements.
