Sumario:Science publication and peer review raises concerns about fairness, quality, performance, cost or accuracy. The Open Access movements has been unable to fulfill all its promises, and middlemen publishers can still impose policies and concentrate profits. This work, using emerging distributed technologies such as Blockchain and IPFS, proposes a decentralized publication system for open science called Decentralized Science1 . It provides transparent governance, a distributed reviewer reputation system, and open access by-design.
