The research proposes a distributed ledger-based consensus mechanism for the presentation of authors' informetrics. The mechanism aims to establish trust and relationships among authors and stakeholders, showcasing the development of decentralized applications.
To analyze the research impact of the researcher, different bibliographic databases like Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, etc. are accessed for evaluating the trend of publications and citations from time to time. However, the choice of the bibliographic database is always debatable. Hence, to provide an optimal solution for a given problem, this study proposes a distributed ledger-based consensus mechanism for the presentation of authors' informetrics. The proposed consensus mechanism named proof of bibliometric indicators is a consent-based system that is introduced as a base to form trustworthiness among authors and various stakeholders, thus exhibiting a development of the decentralized application. In the end, the proposed system is also implemented with the capabilities of an Ethereum-based decentralized application designed by Truffle and Ganache.
