Research Integrity Chain (RICH) is a blockchain-based platform designed to safeguard the authenticity and integrity of scientific research. By creating a tamper-proof, timestamped chain for each stage of the research process, RICH ensures that data and findings are immutable and verifiable. Researchers can register their work, collaborate with peers, and share their research chains externally, providing transparent proof of authorship and research history. The platform offers tiered subscription plans to accommodate individual researchers and teams, with features like data misconduct protection and plagiarism prevention.
