“…Finally, it is noted that since blockchain promotes decentralised applications, many frameworks leveraging its properties in academic services exist with high security features due to its anonymous nature [33], [34], 35], [36]. Specifically, similarly to the framework presented in this publication, this paper is influenced by the following studies regarding "all batteries included" software solutions in scientific publication submission systems [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42].…”

One of the most important tasks in scientific publishing is the articles’ evaluation via the editorial board and the reviewers’ community. Additionally, in scientific publishing great concern exists regarding the peer-review process and how it can be further optimised to decrease the time from submission to the first decision, as well as increase the objectivity of the reviewers’ remarks ensuring that no bias or human error exists in the reviewing process. In order to address this issue, our article suggests a novice cloud framework for manuscript submission based on blockchain technology that further enhances the anonymity between authors and reviewers alike. Our method covers the whole spectrum of current submission systems capabilities, but it also provides a decentralised solution using open-source tools such as Java Spring that enhance the anonymity of the reviewing process.

“…More specifically, these software properties, although they are purely related to the early stages of game development, i.e., the so-called backbonecore of the application, they are of paramount importance for the development of digital games with continuous integration and continuous delivery of the information flow within the schedule, [61]. With the use of machines, developers focus their development efforts and time purely on the application itself and do not have to "reinvent the wheel" i.e., deal with questions such as what communication protocol the application will work, what are the possible login/verification options for the user, what will be the resolution of the game depending on the execution surface (screen), etc.…”

Serious games are defined as applied games that focus on the gamification of an experience (e.g., learning and training activities) and are not strictly for entertainment purposes. In recent years, serious games have become increasingly popular due to their ability to simultaneously educate and entertain users. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the different types of digital games and expand on the serious games genre while focusing on its various applications. Furthermore, we present the most widely used game engines used in the game development industry and extend the Unity game machine advantages. Lastly, we conclude our research with a detailed comparison of the two most popular choices (Unreal and Unity engines) and their respective advantages and disadvantages while providing future suggestions for serious digital game development.

“…Tsoukalas and Falk (2020) argue that token‐weighted voting among users on blockchain‐based platforms is inefficient in aggregating information compared to centralized platforms. Choi and Park (2020) find that decentralization of information production can be socially costly because individual inspectors do not internalize the social benefit of their screening as would a monopolist in the context of academic journals. In contrast to these papers, we study how decentralization interacts with the financing of digital platforms and the trade‐off between expropriating users and subsidizing their participation.…”

Decentralization through Tokenization

We examine decentralization of digital platforms through tokenization as an innovation to resolve the conflict between platforms and users. By delegating control to users, tokenization through utility tokens acts as a commitment device that prevents a platform from exploiting users. This commitment comes at the cost of not having an owner with an equity stake who, in conventional platforms, would subsidize participation to maximize the platform's network effect. This trade‐off makes utility tokens a more appealing funding scheme than equity for platforms with weak fundamentals. The conflict reappears when nonusers, such as token investors and validators, participate on the platform.
