As I know, being a reviewer is valuable in the scientific world. It adds to your reputation. The same can be used here in the system.
Like, building a reputation so that everybody can see your accomplishments?

The funds will be mining Scienceroot token?
Research Funds and Institutions will be able to be nodes in the system because we use a Proof of Stake Consensus algorithm.

Do you collaborate with other scientific funds or companies?
Yes we already discussed the implementation of blockchain into the scientific community with granting agencies and institutions.

the effort to put something like this on going is pretty cool but i;m not sure of it's potential 
The scientific system is hurting, during our conferences and discussions with the scientific community we received a lot of support to develop such a platform.

The scientific community is new to me, but I think it's going to be interesting.

Why do you need to reward the reviewers? And how can you guarantee a fair work from them?
Review takes up to 6 hours and is currently done for free by fellow scientists, we believe that everyone's time is valuable and needs to be rewarded.
That is why we aim to use a part of the article processing charge to reward reviewers.

And will the platform generate any income on it's own?
Yes, the platform is sustainable through minimal transaction fees.
Is there a goal to start a buyback from the profits after a while?
haven't seen the info about it

To "store article on the blockchain", as written in the ANN, is a quite challenging task - since articles occupy a real lot of space? How big would the blockchain be after one year?
To minimize the space used the articles will be hashed and only the hash will be stored on the blockchain

I also want to know what investors stand to benefit from such research directly
The advancement of Science benefits us all, without progress we would still live in caves. July 30, 2018, 05:36:20 AM
That's a different kind of lending system? Where we invest in long run researches?
Our goal is to create an ecosystem where anyone in the scientific community around the globe will have the ability to gather funding, interact, discuss research ideas, collaborate and publish their scientific results.
But individuals interested in Science will also be able to participate in the Ecosystem, by having access to scientific articles and being able to contribute to science.

Who can invest the projects in the system? Say, if I'm just an individual, can I invest in a grant that seems promising to me and then get a profit?
This functionality will be also available in the future, we plan to tokenize scientific ideas where you can get rewards.

Hi! Do you have video interviews?
Yes, they do have. Check their YouTube channel! July 30, 2018, 02:59:45 AM
Why do you need to reward the reviewers? And how can you guarantee a fair work from them?
How can you guarantee it now? There are always minimum 2 people reviewing a work and they don't know each other, nor the author. So it's highly improbable that all of them will be unfair July 30, 2018, 02:57:44 AM
Wait, only institutions will be able to fund science?
No, everyone who wants to. Institutions and universities will be encouraged to stake coins in order to sustain the network July 30, 2018, 02:38:42 AM
Really amazing, I know that many promising developments aren't funded only because it's unprofitable for the current billioneers. Like, garbage isn't used as an energy resource while oil is available.
Sounds like a city legend
However, such rumors are popping up from time to time every once in while. July 30, 2018, 02:04:53 AM

We might have had hydrogen fuel by now if the researchers had an opportunity to use crowdfunding for that!
Maybe... Anyway, having more funding for research needs grows the chances to develop new things.

Show me pls the current ICO progress
