Summary
- It was reported that the Research Hub of the DeSci project was featured in Nature.
- It was stated that researchers can receive incentives for reviewing papers through ResearchCoin.
- ResearchCoin surged 24.82%, attracting the attention of investors.
The emerging virtual asset (cryptocurrency) project DeSci (Decentralized Science Project) has caught the attention of the world-renowned scientific journal Nature.
According to Cointelegraph on the 11th (local time), Nature published an article introducing the ResearchHub platform. ResearchHub is a project that provides incentives for academic peer reviews using ResearchCoin (RSC). Each paper review can earn a token reward of approximately $150.
Nature evaluated in the article that "the project has proven to provide financial opportunities for some researchers." A notable example is São Paulo molecular biologist Pedro Paulo Gatay Gomes. It is reported that he currently earns more money reviewing papers on ResearchHub than he did as a professor in academia.
Gomes stated, "I believe it is right to be paid for reviewing papers. It is very unfair to work voluntarily and not even receive a word of thanks."
Meanwhile, as of 10:32 AM on the 12th (Korean time), ResearchCoin is trading at $1.01 on CoinMarketCap, up 24.82% from the previous day.
