Connectionists: Special Topic CfP: Blockchain and the Web3.0 Future of Scientific Publishing

[Sean Manion]

Hi all,

Special Topic Call for Papers from Frontiers - Blockchain for Science:

Blockchain and the Web3.0 Future of Scientific Publishing | Frontiers
Research Topic (frontiersin.org)
<https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/22906/blockchain-and-the-web30-future-of-scientific-publishing>

For more than 300 years, scientific publications have served as the
foundational blocks of scientific knowledge, chained together via
citations. This successful model has continued with little disruption into
our current web2.0 digital age in recent decades. As we now head into a
more distributed, peer-to-peer web3.0 future that rapidly transforms entire
industries, we would like to look at how blockchain and associated
distributed technologies may transform scientific publishing.

How might blockchain and decentralized artificial intelligence transform
scientific publishing and scientific knowledge translation? Will journals
still exist in 20 years or will they be replaced by machine-to-machine
communications that rapidly augment human knowledge, in near real time,
with the latest available data? What might this non-journaled future of
science look like? Or will the centuries old current publishing framework
assimilate these new technologies?

We invite you to submit manuscripts describing empirical experience,
descriptions of theoretical applications, or unique perspectives on
blockchain and other emerging technologies applied to all aspects of
scientific publishing.

Submission Deadlines
06 August 2021 Abstract
04 December 2021 Manuscript

Cheers!

Sean Manion, PhD
