Overview of the DeSci Publishing Landscape

"Decentralized Science (DeSci) is a paradigm shift or in a broader sense a natural progression in scientific research that uses decentralized technologies such as blockchain and IPFS to revolutionise traditional research. DeSci is based on four principles that are the core of scientific research: transparency, incentives, decentralisation, and cooperation."

This post provides overview, pros and cons of two DeSci initiatives in operation: DeSci Nodes (an open publishing platform) and ResearchHub (an open publishing platform rewarding peer reviewers by token bounties).
