Description

This project explores a publisher-centred model of blockchain publishing that creates value for micro-publishers in terms of monetising existing intellectual property. The No Point in Stopping project involved creating and selling new digital products using the drafts, edits, and unpublished illustrations of a novella. Using the open source blockchain technology Hyperledger, the project developed a custom digital ledger to manage the intellectual property agreements and royalty payments for these digital products, and track both physical in-store and online purchases. In so doing, the research explores the potential of blockchain technology for models of book publishing that are mutually beneficial for both publishers and authors.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
