Design Principle

DP2 - Flexibility

Support customizable functionality that can accommodate varying incentive schemes depending on the specific needs and preferences of each journal, since flexibility increases the likelihood of securing enough willing reviewers while respecting the diversity in reviewer motivations.

DF1 - Tokenization

Tokenization creates unique digital representations of incentives, with non-fungible and fungible tokens enabling different types of extrinsic incentive.

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.
