Ants-Review：以太坊激励开放同行评审协议
Ants-Review: a Protocol for Incentivized Open Peer-Reviews on Ethereum
摘要：
同行评议是科学出版物质量控制的必要和基本步骤，但缺乏适当的激励措施。事实上，这一过程在时间和智力投资方面都非常昂贵，不仅期刊没有报酬，而且学术界也没有公开承认这是研究人员的相关科学产出。因此，科学传播的及时性、质量和公平性受到影响。在这里，为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一个基于区块链的激励系统，奖励科学家对其他科学家的工作进行同行评审，并建立信任和声誉。我们设计了一个面向隐私的智能合约协议，称为Ants-Review，允许作者在以太坊上发布开放匿名同行评论的奖金。如果符合要求，同行审查将被接受，并由审查委员会按其评估质量的比例支付费用。为了促进道德行为和包容性，该系统实施了一种游戏化机制，允许整个社区评估同行评审并投票选出最佳评审。
英文摘要：
Peer-review is a necessary and essential quality control step for scientific publications but lacks proper incentives. Indeed, the process, which is very costly in terms of time and intellectual investment, not only is not remunerated by the journals but is also not openly recognized by the academic community as a relevant scientific output for a researcher. Therefore, scientific dissemination is affected in timeliness, quality, and fairness. Here, to solve this issue, we propose a blockchain-based incentive system that rewards scientists for peer-reviewing other scientists' work and that builds up trust and reputation. We designed a privacy-oriented protocol of smart contracts called Ants-Review that allows authors to issue a bounty for open anonymous peer-reviews on Ethereum. If requirements are met, peer-reviews will be accepted and paid by the approver proportionally to their assessed quality. To promote ethical behavior and inclusiveness the system implements a gamified mechanism that allows the whole community to evaluate the peer-reviews and vote for the best ones.
