How It Works

From submission to verified priority in three simple steps. No crypto knowledge required.

AFor Authors

1

Sign in with ORCID

Your academic identity. We create a secure account linked to your ORCID profile. No crypto wallet needed, no technical setup. Just your ORCID.

2

Upload your paper

Drag-and-drop your PDF. Add title, abstract, authors with ORCID, keywords, and references. Save as draft anytime — come back and finish later.

3

Submit for peer review

Your DOI is reserved instantly. 3 or more expert reviewers evaluate your work within 5-21 days (Fibonacci schedule: 5, 8, 13, or 21 days based on complexity).

4

Triple-Lock Priority

Upon approval, your priority is permanently fixed by three independent systems: Zenodo DOI (CERN archive), blockchain timestamp (immutable), and cryptographic hash (tamper-proof). Anyone can verify. Forever.

Submit Your Research

Free. No wallet needed.

RFor Reviewers

Traditional journals ask reviewers to work for free, anonymously, with no credit.
Artosphere is different: every review is credited, DOI-linked, and builds your verifiable academic reputation.

DOI

Every review gets a DOI

Add to your CV. Recognized by Publons and Web of Science as verified academic service.

Rep

Build public reputation

Novice → Scholar → Expert → Oracle. Your track record is transparent and verifiable.

Open

Transparent after decision

All reviews are published after resolution. Your contribution is credited and permanent.

Path

Career progression

Oracle tier (13+ correct reviews) = editorial board member. Meritocratic, not political.

TReputation Tiers (Fibonacci)

0+

Novice

New researcher. Can submit papers and stake on discoveries.

2+

Scholar

Can review papers. Reviews earn DOI credit.

5+

Expert

Priority reviewer matching. Higher reputation weight.

13+

Oracle

Can propose experimental resolutions. Editorial board eligible.

Thresholds: F(3)=2, F(5)=5, F(7)=13 — Fibonacci numbers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free?+

Yes. No submission fees, no page charges, no APCs. We sponsor all blockchain transaction costs. Open access forever.

Do I need a crypto wallet?+

No. We create a secure embedded wallet for you automatically when you sign in with ORCID. You never need to install MetaMask or buy cryptocurrency.

How is this different from Zenodo?+

Zenodo is excellent for archiving but has no peer review. We add transparent peer review + blockchain timestamp + cryptographic proof on top of Zenodo DOIs. Triple lock vs single lock.

How is this different from arXiv?+

arXiv is a preprint server with moderation but no peer review and no DOI. We provide both: peer-reviewed DOI in 5-21 days instead of arXiv's 1-3 day moderation.

What does 'blockchain timestamp' mean?+

Your paper's metadata and cryptographic hash are recorded on Base (an Ethereum Layer 2 network). This creates an immutable timestamp that no one — not even us — can alter. It's like a notary, but digital and permanent.

Can I still publish on arXiv/journals after Artosphere?+

Absolutely. Artosphere is complementary. Your triple-lock priority is established here, and you can submit to traditional journals simultaneously.

Where do reviewers come from?+

From the research community. Published authors review others' work (standard academic model). Reviewers earn DOI credit, reputation tiers, and academic service recognition.

What fields do you accept?+

Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, Economics, Engineering, and Interdisciplinary research.

Why 'Fibonacci schedule' for reviews?+

Review windows are 5, 8, 13, or 21 days — Fibonacci numbers. This isn't arbitrary: the golden ratio governs the entire Artosphere framework, from protocol economics to review timing.
