THE RVCOINS PROJECT: A NEW DIGITAL CURRENCY THAT WILL BE DEPLOYED ON THE BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK TO REWARD SCIENTISTS WHO CONTRIBUTE TO A PEER-REVIEW PROCESS SUCH AS THE EDITING AND REVIEWING OF A SCIENTIFIC CONTENT.
Read moreRVCOIN is a new cryptocurrency project specifically intended to reward editors and reviewers for their review tasks of a scientific peer-review content.
Editing and Reviewing tasks are fundamental in any peer-review process to publish a scientifically reliable content.
The amount and value of researchers' peer review work are critical for academia and scientific journal publishing. However, this labor is significantly under-recognized, and its magnitude is vast but precisely unknown.
Today, it is evident that the magnitude of this labor has been continuously decreasing over the last 5 years due to increasing under-recognition. This trend is leading to greater market demands with fewer offers.
Based on the market trends mentioned above, RVcoins presents an excellent opportunity to enhance the recognition value of work (VoW) for editors and reviewers, coupled with a significant value of stake (VoS) for improved scalability.
Estimating the total number of peer reviews is challenging due to dispersed sources globally. Therefore, the ResearchVideos team has implemented a strategy to measure this estimate. This measurement is crucial for accurately determining the total supply of RVcoins to be deployed on the blockchain network, ensuring their maximum possible value compared to other currencies such as USD, BTC, or ETH.
