This paper has investigated the most dominant shortcomings of literature review
of publication review systems. Investigating the capabilities of Blockchain
technology in the literature and its transformative capabilities, a network
based Blockchain ecosystem is proposed. The ecosystem is providing a
decentralized, transparent, and effective collaboration mechanisms for authors,
reviewers, and other stakeholders in publication review processes. The main
advantage of the ecosystem is committing the of all stakeholders and

profits the stakeholders from the resulted reputation of the publication in
future citations with its token model. The architecture of the proposed
ecosystem supports the management of publication contents and sharing it for
stakeholders. Moreover, it enables the configuration of smart contracts for
governance of processes among stakeholders. It uses a token transaction
Blockchain model to fulfill the token transactions. The capabilities and
details of layers in the ecosystem has been discussed addressing the new
