SUMMARY:

This study proposes the development of a blockchain-based peer review platform, with the aim of transforming and optimizing the academic editorial process, ensuring greater transparency, security and automation. The platform integrates smart contracts and a dynamic scoring system for reviewers, aiming to mitigate problems such as impartiality, excessive delay and lack of transparency, characteristics widely documented in traditional peer review models. The implementation of blockchain offers immutability in the records, which reinforces the reliability of the information and reduces the risk of manipulation. In addition, the system enables greater democratization of access to knowledge, by allowing the participation of different academic actors, and offers more transparent and structured recognition for reviewers, encouraging more constructive and efficient collaboration. Preliminary results indicate that the platform already fulfills a good part of the proposed objectives, with an intuitive interface and satisfactory performance, although a more robust evaluation by means of load tests and quantitative metrics is still lacking. The project also plans to implement new functionalities, such as tokenizing articles and collecting quantitative data on the system's performance, as well as expanding current functionalities, such as including images and improving the review flow. The study thus points to a revolution in the way academic knowledge is generated, validated and shared, with significant implications for governance and scientific collaboration, proposing a new paradigm that integrates technology, transparency and efficiency in the global academic context.
