The most important thing that it will be possible to reduce transaction costs which will lead to openness and universal accessibility. Blockchain will also be able to help with digital rights management and address authorship credit and priority problem. Subsequent decentralization can help to adjust trust and transparency for the system and boost peer-review quality and speed, plagiarism detection, research evaluation and address reproducibility and publication bias issues. Blockchain platform can also give a new life to reuse of the non-publications and scientific data.
