Governance Journal

These slides accompany an introductory talk at STEPS Blockchain for Science workshop at the Akasha Barcelona Hub. It aims to place scientific governance within an evolving context built on top of a new form of peered review journal on Governance. This journal is hosted on a blockchain which implements a minimal set of governance and institutional functions that enable an effective scientific process that facilitates, incentivises and funds evidence based governance. The recursive nature of this journal has wide spread application, but in the talk I argue that the place to start is with a new institution for open science that is explicitly structured to enable a diverse and open partnership between scientific foundations, institutions and private companies with the purpose of collaboration of Plan-S compliant open access publishing.
