Design feature DF3: Decentralization

Decentralized storage across a distributed network removes central authorities and single points of failure and avoids vendor lock-in.

Source paper

This design feature is a technology-specific realization proposed by Blockchain-based token system for incentivizing peer review: A design science approach (Chad Anderson, Pratiksha Shrestha, Suman Bhunia, Arthur Carvalho, Younghwa Lee, 2025).

DP3 - Trust

Ensure that reviewers' identities are protected in blind review processes and that incentives are allocated properly, since trust in the peer review process is critical for maintaining the credibility of published research.

Blockchain-based token system for incentivizing peer review: A design science approach

The paper proposes formal design principles for peer-review incentive mechanisms and a concrete blockchain-based token system that lets editors offer incentives while reviewers flexibly utilize them, implemented through the design features of tokenization, immutability and decentralized storage.
