Does Academic Publishing Need a "Decentralized" Platform?: A decentralized platform could provide greater transparency, fairness, and accessibility in academic publishing. It would allow researchers to have more control over their work, reduce costs, and potentially make publications more accessible to a broader audience. However, challenges exist in terms of quality control, peer review, and the existing structures that support academic publishing. A balance between decentralization and institutional credibility is needed.
