Decentralized Technology is a non-profit, free, open source and peer reviewed journal for contributions in blockchain technology and the distributed ecosystem in general. We aim to review and publish papers in the following topics, guaranteeing quick publication:
- Protocol design
- Consensus design
- Cyber-security
- Hardware design
- Algorithms/implementation
- Theoretical characterizations of concepts relevant to decentralization
- Economic, Legal, Political and Sociological modeling and design for decentralized ecosystems
- Impact of decentralization on Economics, Law, Society and Politics
- Philosophical considerations on decentralization
Editorial policy
Our editorial policy contains some revolutionary differences with respect to conventional ones, such as:
- Papers are published as soon as they are accepted: publication dates are not arranged in issues;
- Reviews rely on a first anonymous, then public process;
- Editors, reviews and reviewers names are made public at publication time, and integrated in the submission as appendixes;
- The journal is publication-format agnostic;
- Negative results are also welcome.
Nor authors or readers have to pay any fee to use the journal: submission is free and publications are freely available.
The editorial policy is still in a draft phase. If you have any suggestion please join the discussion!
