In order to create a transparent and sound academic communication ecosystem centered on researchers, we developed a system that applied blockchain technology to an open peer review system. In this study, an open peer review system was developed based on Hyperledger Fabric, which is a private blockchain. The system can be operated in connection with the reviewer recommendation module of the existing submission management system. In the reviewer recommendation module, reviewers are recommended by excluding co-authors and colleagues after an expertise test. The blockchain system performs an open peer review process based on smart contracts, while the submission management system selects reviewers for peer review. A service broker intervenes between these two systems for data interchange. The system developed herein is expected to be used as a researcher-centered scholarly communication model in the open science era, in which the intervention of publishers is minimized, and authors and reviewers (as researchers) are centered.

使用区块链和审稿人推荐技术开发开放式同行评审系统

为了创建一个以研究人员为中心的透明和健全的学术交流生态系统，我们开发了一个系统，将区块链技术应用到一个开放的同行评审系统中。在这项研究中，基于私有区块链 Hyperledger Fabric 开发了一个开放的同行评审系统。该系统可以与现有投稿管理系统的审稿人推荐模块结合使用。在审稿人推荐模块中，通过专业测试后排除共同作者和同事来推荐审稿人。区块链系统基于智能合约执行开放的同行评审过程，而提交管理系统选择评审人进行同行评审。服务代理在这两个系统之间进行干预以进行数据交换。
