About Scienceroot

Scienceroot aims to improve the scientific and research community using blockchain technology. The goal is to create an ecosystem where anyone in the scientific community around the globe will have the ability to gather funding, interact, discuss research ideas, collaborate and in the end, publish their work through a more efficient, open and transparent platform. Our scientific ecosystem will be powered by its own unique currency called Science Token (ST), which will be used to exchange funds, store articles on the blockchain, crowdfund scientific ideas, exchange services through our scientific marketplace and reward parties involved. Scienceroot will integrate all the critical functionalities needed by researchers, scientists and academics, making their day to day lives easier and allowing them to focus on maximizing their impact in the scientific world.

Features

Collaboration Platform

Join our Scientific Collaboration Network, create a unique profile, connect with fellow peers and showcase your research.

Create your own scientific repository and team up with others to experiment and share ideas.

Are you stuck on something or just need access to a specific tool to test your hypothesis?

Be part of our incetivized Q&A forum and decentralized scientific marketplace. Use your expertise to the benefit of others and get rewarded.

 

Funding Platform

Are you a graduate student in need for a PhD position or a job? Do you need to fund your research and don’t know which grants you can access?

Our funding portal lets you access a complete index of all international research grants, funding opportunities and scientific jobs.

If you didn`t find anything, you could submit your proposal to the power of the crowd via our own scientific blockchain-funding mechanism.

Blockchain-based grants will be easier to configure, track and distribute.

 

Publishing Platform

Every article submission will be time-stamped on our blockchain to create an immutable open access archive of all scientific articles.

No single individual or group will have control over the system and all information will be clearly accessible to everyone.

We welcome journals willing to adopt blockchain into their platform by integrating our decentralized publishing framework.

We will support the publication of failed hypothesis and negative results. This way, researchers can pick off the work from a different perspective, therefore sparing time and resources.
