Mission & Goals

Mission: To build a global, decentralized ecosystem for scientific publishing where every researcher and reviewer receives transparent credit and fair token rewards for their contributions.

  • Eliminate the monopoly of large publishers and remove financial access barriers.
  • Accelerate research dissemination and improve peer-review quality.
  • Level the playing field for scientists worldwide, regardless of geography or funding.

The Problem

Scientific publishing is broken.

A handful of global corporations control most academic journals. They charge universities billions of dollars annually, while the researchers who write, review, and edit the papers are rarely paid — and often locked out by paywalls themselves.

  • Access is limited: Over 70% of peer-reviewed research is hidden behind expensive paywalls, out of reach for scientists in emerging countries, independent researchers, and even students.
  • Slow and inefficient: Peer review can take 6–12 months. Editors are overwhelmed. Reviewers are unpaid. Critical discoveries sit unpublished.
  • Unfair value distribution: Publishers profit. Researchers work for free. Reviewers remain invisible. Institutions pay multiple times — to produce, publish, and read the same work.
  • Outdated & centralized: A system built for paper journals in the 20th century still controls knowledge flow in the 21st. It’s slow, expensive, and exclusionary — especially for Global South researchers.
The Problem

Our Solution

SCIZYX leverages blockchain and smart contracts to create a decentralized platform for publishing and peer review. All actions are transparently recorded, and rewards are distributed fairly to authors, reviewers, and curators in tokens.

  • Instant open access for all published articles
  • Transparent peer review and rating system
  • Smart contract-based reward distribution
  • Lower publication and review costs

How It Works

  1. Submission: Authors submit their research via a decentralized portal.
  2. Peer Review: Reviewers are selected transparently and compensated in tokens.
  3. Publication: Accepted papers are immutably stored and open to all.
  4. Rewards: Tokens are distributed to all contributors automatically.
