[ANN][ITO] Scienceroot - The first Blockchain-based Scientific Ecosystem

[vladSR]

Who will do the projects' evaluation for the grants?

Experienced personnel from that particular field.

[vladSR]

Usually the scientific projects need to have any commercial implementation to be funded. Is it so on the ScienceRoot?

Not necessarily we will also promote non-commercial grants.

[vladSR]

Do you collaborate with other scientific funds or companies?

Yes we already discussed the implementation of blockchain into the scientific community with granting agencies and institutions.

What's the benefit for the funds?
I see that the scientists will prefer to optimize the work using the platform. But the funds?

The funds will have another channel to market their funds, because currently many of the funding options go under the radar.
We want to connect funding agencies with scientists looking for grants.

The well-known magazines charge for publishing the articles for a reason - they have a reputation and people know that the articles there are trust-worth. You will need time to achieve the same trust level.

[Scyntech]

So what if it requires time to get the trust? Starting small is better than no start at all.

[KAZAKOV.TOM]

How many articles do you plan to publish every year on the platform?

It depends heavily on the popularity, I guess.

[Den.3354]

Shouldn't you make an interest return policy for the investors?

[mikael1]

soft cap and hard cap how effects our work and so on how they relate to profit and loss?

The publishing fees are very overpriced, big publishers have over 40% yearly profits.

Most grants in Russia are from the government. Is it the same in Europe? I wonder how the system can switch to private funding so fast.

Regarding the publishing platform in the beginning we don`t plan to create a new journal but to partner with already existing publishing businesses and offer them blockchain infrastructure.

We will market also governmental grants in the platform it`s not targeted only for private funding.
Because like you mentioned most science funding is done by the government.

[Borislav12]

Globally, many laboratories and even universities are private ones, so there is no problem to attract other private investors to the platform.

Scienceroot is a platform that uses Blockchain technology to help the scientific community collect donations, interact, discuss research ideas, collaborate and publish works ... In the future, the team Intent to improve technology to extend the project to other areas?

Sure, many industries need a similar platform for funding and investment.

[faccariera]

The well-known magazines charge for publishing the articles for a reason - they have a reputation and people know that the articles there are trust-worth. You will need time to achieve the same trust level.

No, this has nothing to do with reputation. The only way a publisher achieves trust is to have a lot of cited articles on that platform. The money part is just not well-justified. They don't reward the authors, nor the reviewers. They just keep the profit to themselves

[braineridze]

What's the most challenging task here for Scienceroot team?

[faccariera]

Shouldn't you make an interest return policy for the investors?

It is somehow self-explanatory if you read the whitepaper, but you got a point. It's a good tip!

[koralan]

I read about Scienceroot, using this platform, individuals in the global science community will be able to collect funding, interact, discuss ideas, collaborate and publish their work. I want to find out about the bases for the project to review and allocate funds for each specific scientific study?

We don`t have any exact numbers yet because our focus currently is on the collaboration platform, funding will be targeted in the coming months.

[Dima.Lik]

The scientific community is different from other communities. But still thay need blockchain support for their goals.
