Product Information

Description

Blocktrust is a decentralized reputation management system specifically designed for scientific research communities. It leverages blockchain technology to create transparent, tamper-resistant records of researcher contributions, peer reviews, and publication metrics, moving beyond traditional citation-based indicators. Key features include customizable reputation models that institutions can adapt to their specific evaluation criteria, verifiable credential systems for research outputs, and decentralized networking that allows cross-institutional collaboration without centralized control. The platform addresses critical issues in academic evaluation by reducing bias from commercial metrics and shifting focus from quantity to quality of research contributions. Use cases include fair allocation of research funding, transparent career advancement evaluations, and creating incentive structures that reward rigorous methodology and replication studies rather than just publication volume.
