Blockchain technology, as an emerging paradigm in the field of information technology, holds a profound transformative potential in scientometrics and scientific evaluation. This research investigates the impact of blockchain technology on enhancing transparency and credibility of scientometric indices. Using documentary analysis method and within the framework of transparent information systems theory, blockchain capabilities in improving scientific evaluation processes have been studied. In this context, the research demonstrates blockchain's ability to create fundamental transformation in scientific achievement recording, validation, and assessment processes.
The most significant achievement of this technology is creating a decentralized and immutable infrastructure for scientific information management. Through distributed consensus mechanism and advanced cryptography, blockchain enables precise and unalterable scientific information registration. This feature leads to a significant increase in transparency in research activity recording and tracking, minimizing the possibility of information manipulation and forgery.
In the validation dimension, blockchain offers an innovative mechanism to guarantee scientific data accuracy and integrity. The system of tokenizing scientific achievements and decentralized citation registration enables precise tracking of knowledge production pathways. This approach can help create a more equitable reward system for researchers and reduce discrimination in scientific evaluations.
The current study examines blockchain's role in creating a transparent and trustworthy scientific ecosystem. By establishing a decentralized and transparent platform, the technology enables accurate tracking of knowledge production pathways, precise validation of articles and research, and immutable registration of scientific achievements. Additionally, the capability to create a tokenization system for accurate valuation of scientific contributions is another advantage of this technology.
The challenges of blockchain implementation in the scientific system have also been analyzed in this research. Scalability limitations, high computational costs, energy consumption, and technical complexities are among the primary obstacles to technology expansion. However, blockchain's potential in improving scientometrics transparency and credibility provides opportunities to overcome these challenges.
The primary innovation of this research lies in presenting a comprehensive approach to examining blockchain's impacts on scientific evaluation systems. Results indicate that this technology can increase trust in scientific systems by creating a transparent, fair, and decentralized ecosystem, potentially catalyzing fundamental transformations in traditional scientometric methods. Policymakers and scientific institutions are recommended to consider gradual strategies for integrating this technology into scientific evaluation systems.
