Addressing Key Challenges
Real problems faced by the research community that SageNet aims to solve
Uncompensated Peer Review
"Who Pays the Price for Peer Review?" highlights how reviewers rarely receive compensation or recognition, leading to lower quality feedback and significant publication delays.
Our Solution:
SageNet's bounty system enables researchers to offer crypto incentives for quality peer reviews, with smart contracts automating verified payments to reviewers.
Ethical Review Concerns
"Peer Review Ghost-Writing" reveals how senior academics often delegate reviews to junior staff without acknowledgment, creating ethical issues and undermining the integrity of academic publishing.
Our Solution:
SageNet's blockchain-based system ensures transparency in reviewer identity and contribution, with Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) establishing verifiable proof of authorship and review work.
