Problem
Researchers face fragmented workflows, paywalled literature, and limited tools for integrating data, code, and manuscripts, which slows discovery and hampers reproducibility. Evaluating the novelty and quality of new work is time‑consuming and often relies on opaque peer‑review processes.
Solution
DeSci Labs offers an integrated, AI‑enhanced publishing platform called DeSci Publish that consolidates manuscripts, datasets, and code into a single, versionable research object. The platform uses blockchain‑based attestations to provide verifiable, tamper‑proof records of research contributions and peer‑review badges. AI services such as SciWeave generate structured insights, literature maps, and novelty scores to help authors assess originality and locate relevant work instantly. Open‑access publishing on a peer‑to‑peer network removes paywalls, ensures long‑term persistence, and supports FAIR principles, making research both human‑ and machine‑readable. The ecosystem also rewards high‑quality curation and validation, encouraging transparent and reproducible science.
Target Audience
Primary users are academic researchers, data scientists, and research groups seeking a transparent, open‑access publishing workflow, as well as institutions and journals that want to adopt FAIR‑compliant, blockchain‑backed research infrastructure.
