Building a web3 solution for Scientific Article peer review and publishing platform
This project combines the web2 peer review and publishing process with FEVM and Filecoin storage. We have build a DAO on FEVM, which takes decisions to add reviewers and scientific article to the system. Once, the DAO accepts a new reviewer he is eligible to review an article submitted by authors across the globe. A reviewer can either accept or reject an article. A DAO can either accept or reject a reviewer's decision. If both reviewer and DAO accepts an article, then that article is ready to be published. All ready to be published articles are packed as an volume and then a request for storage deal is sent to the Filecoin network. The storage deal is about storing the volume.
We have gone through https://github.com/PatrickAlphaC/hardhat-dao-fcc for building DAO and https://github.com/filecoin-project/fevm-hardhat-kit for making storage deals. Apart from this we have developed a back-end and front-end using typescript and nodeJS. One particular thing that is notable in our project is this might the first of its kind of a project to completely revolutionise scientific article peer review and publishing process.
