Conception of Academic Coin Circulation System Based on Blockchain

Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] At present, the academic evaluation system has begun to take shape, but the existing evaluation methods still have their own disadvantages, which bring some disputes to the scientific nature of academic evaluation. Scholars at home and abroad analyzed the current academic evaluation activities. Many theoretical assumptions were put forward to promote the development of academic evaluation. At the same time, in order to make academic evaluation more scientific, scholars put forward improvement plans from the technical aspect. However, only a specific solution to a problem in academic evaluation is proposed, and the research on academic evaluation system based on blockchain is still blank. Therefore, the paper asks this question: Is it feasible to apply blockchain technology to academic evaluation? How to build an academic evaluation system based on blockchain technology? [Method/Process] Regarding the traceability characteristics and timestamp technology of blockchain data, the peer-to-peer transmission and distributed consensus algorithm of this technology were used to circulate academic coins in the academic evaluation system, and the academic currency equivalent to academic value platform was established. Using the imtamable characteristics of blockchain data and the timestamp technology, the electronic tag of academic research is established, so as to achieve comprehensive monitoring of all steps of academic research and ensure the objectivity of academic research at the data source. Combined with block chain technology, based on block chain academic currency circulation system, and with academic currency equivalent value platform set up, block chain was applied to the academic evaluation, which puts literature related information in the block in the chain store, and at the same time encourages users to do literature review, and implement comments thumb up for academic currency of incentive mechanism, to improve the impartiality of the academic evaluation. [Results/Conclusions] The system is capable of effectively improving the problems of scattered downloads and usage and incomplete statistics in the evaluation of influence, and enhancing the fairness of peer review after publication; At the same time, it can effectively realize copyright protection and scientific research reproduction. The academic coin circulation system based on block chain can be applied to scientific evaluation, copyright protection, user credit and other scenarios, which can provide beneficial inspiration for the future application of block chain in academic evaluation. For example, the circulation rules and incentive mechanism of the academic currency system proposed in this paper are not comprehensive enough. It is necessary to further improve the circulation rules and research ideas of the academic currency system.
