“…Cluster 4, the discussion of BC 3.0 (Brilliantova and Thurner, 2019) on BMI intensity goes beyond the other two BC versions, BC 2.0 (Mukkamala et al, 2018) and 4.0 (Song and Lee, 2020). This situation was also identified in Cluster 5, where the discussion of BC 3.0 on the new value system (Ryan et al, 2021;Son-turan, 2022) significantly left behind other BC versions (Chang et al, 2019;Mercuri et al, 2021). For Cluster 6, the discussion of BC 3.0 on system logic (Tiscini et al, 2020) appears dominant compared to BC 2.0 and 4.0 (Mercuri et al, 2021).…”

“…The literature on BCs and BMs can also be viewed using the type of BC and BM. Mukkamala et al (2018) and Ryan et al (2021) examined the intensity of BMI driven by the adoption of BC types. Using another theme, Hughes et al (2019) attempted to uncover the contributions of BC types to the value system and found a transaction cost reduction by adopting various BC types.…”

Purpose Blockchain (BC) is a technological innovation that emphasizes the opposite paradigm compared to the available technology. This paradigm enables changing the firm’s business models (BMs) and has been elaborated by many experts. However, the discussion is scattered in various sources, particularly academic journals. This study aims to investigate the literature on the coexistence of BCs and BMs and depict the currently available situation that has not been discussed. Design/methodology/approach This study investigated articles focusing on the coexistence of BCs and BMs through heterogeneous academic databases, namely, Emerald, ProQuest, Taylor & Francis, ScienceDirect and Scopus. The systematic approach and development of inclusion criteria used in this study resulted in 52 key articles for further review. This systematic review followed the PRISMA framework and a timeframe between 2012 and 2022. Findings This study classifies literature based on specific themes, the integration of BC (interaction and evolution) and BM innovation (innovativeness, new value system and system logic), including the research design. As expected, the literature on BCs and BMs appears to be focused on particular themes since this topic appears to have grown. This study identifies gaps in the literature and describes future research to accommodate the study discrepancy. Research limitations/implications The major limitation of this study is the research bias. Such a bias might occur due to the misinterpretations of researchers in this study. In the process of devising databases and keywords, this study identified the potential for misinterpretation. This study sought to use rigid protocols through a manual approach to mitigate the potential bias. A research bias also has the potential to arise in the literature classification. A literature categorization is performed back and forth, by referring to the theory or concept of a particular topic. The next limitation is limited access to scientific databases. This study drew upon several reputable scientific journal databases. However, the researcher considered the journal selection to be built upon a journal’s accessibility, multi-disciplinary nature and data size compared to other journals. It allows the analysis results to be biased, as they do not represent all available databases. However, the study used the available formal access to maintain the integrity of this research. Originality/value This study conducts a systematic review that discusses the coexistence of BCs and BMs. Furthermore, it provides a profound understanding of the discussion carried out through certain themes and the outlook for the future.

“…Asymmetric encryption technology is first utilized to strengthen digital copyright defenses against forgery assaults [28]. Both public and private key encryption are available for use by digital libraries to manage digital copyrights: public key encryption can be used to add digital watermarks to copyrights with low security levels, enforce identity verification and access control, and lower the risk of malicious copyright forgeries; private key encryption can be used to grant the copyright owner the ability to independently set up copyright invocation methods and to completely prevent the use of phishing to steal copyright information [6,7]. Second, the security of digital copyright invocation is improved by the application of encryption and desensitization technologies.…”

“…Because of this, the digital copyright transaction system that this study built has a welldefined hierarchical structure. The user layer, which is separated into three user categories-creators, administrators, and subscribers-offers service interfaces for managing users and copyright [5][6][7]. By using smart contracts to specify the data structure and operational features of the digital copyright trading system, the business model layer ensures the security and openness of the trading data.By building a decentralized communication network by connecting the middle layer and the underlying layer via the Connection Profile file, the Fabric network layer acts as the foundational infrastructure.…”

Using blockchain technology to handle the entire chain of digital copyrights in digital libraries not only helps to improve the economy, validity, and fairness of the libraries’ digital resource offerings, but it also increases the revenue of digital copyright subjects in a sustainable manner. In this work, a decentralized, secure, and traceable digital copyright transaction system is designed and implemented using blockchain technology. The system serves creators, administrators, and subscribers through its user layer, business model layer, and Fabric network layer. To guarantee the accuracy and integrity of transaction data, smart contracts are used for the registration of digital works, transaction supervision, and smart contract execution. Fabric Composer is used in the development of the system and offers good scalability. The system still has issues with privacy protection, increasing performance, and complying with laws and regulations. It is anticipated that the digital copyright transaction system will advance in the area of digital copyright protection as blockchain technology develops.

“…Ryan et al (2020) as part of the 'no point in stopping' project, which aims to generate and sell new digital items based on a novella's draughts, revisions, and unpublished artwork. Furthermore, Ryan et al (2021) asserted that there is significant scholarly interest in how blockchain may be employed in the publishing industry. Furthermore, he argued that existing models are mostly untested and typically author-centered models of intellectual property and royalties administration, with little focus by researchers on publisher-centered models.…”

This study looks into how Blockchain technology can be used to establish a decentralised method to book publishing. Traditional publishing strategies can present authors with obstacles such as limited control over their work, money processing issues, and limited access to distribution outlets. The decentralised model afforded by Blockchain technology, on the other hand, has the potential to give authors more control over their work, smoother payment processing, and more distribution channels. The study investigates the advantages and disadvantages of employing Blockchain technology in book publishing and the possible impact on the sector as a whole. The study also includes a prototype of a decentralised publishing platform based on Blockchain technology, which allows authors to upload their work directly to the platform, receive real-time payment, and experience a more transparent and equitable publication process. The front-end of the platform was built with javascript. While writing the smart contract, solidity was employed. According to the findings of this study, Blockchain technology has the potential to transform the book publishing industry by empowering authors and boosting transparency and justice in the publication process.
