Blockchain For Open Scientific Research
Techniques facilitating using a blockchain system that integrates the trustworthiness of the blockchain concept with open scientific research by generating a blockchain of the experiments formed, data collected, analyses performed, and results achieved are provided herein. In an example, the blockchain system can form a blockchain representing a research project, wherein the blockchain comprises a first block of research data and a second block of analysis data representing a log of an analysis performed on the research data. Summary blocks and correction blocks can also be added to the blockchain representing the post analysis of the research results. One or more of the subsequent blocks can be linked to the preceding blocks using information in block headers that can also serve to determine whether modifications to the blocks have been performed.

- 10. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores computer executable components; and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable component comprise:
a data collection component that creates a master data block from a data entry blockchain, wherein the data entry blockchain comprises a group of data entry blocks that are linked to each other, and wherein the master data block comprises a first header and data from the group of data entry blocks, wherein the header further comprises a first time stamp, an identifier that identifies a source of the data, and a first hash based on the data; and
an analysis component that creates an analysis block comprising a log of an analysis performed on the data and a second header that comprises a second time stamp, a link to the master data block, and a second hash based on the log of the analysis, wherein the analysis block and the master data block comprise a blockchain.

- 21. A system, comprising:
a memory that stores computer executable components; and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable component comprise: a data collection component that:
receives a first file having experimental data;
generates a first block from the first file, wherein the first block comprises a first header and the experimental data, and wherein the header further comprises a first time stamp, an identifier that identifies a source of the experimental data, and a first hash based on the experimental data; and
an analysis that generates a second block based on a second file that comprises a log of an analysis performed on the experimental data, wherein the second block comprises the log of the analysis and a second header that comprises a second time stamp, a link to the first block, and a second hash based on the log of the analysis; and an inspection component that generates a third block comprising a summary of the experimental data and the analysis and a result of the analysis.
- 23. A computer program product to generate a blockchain using open scientific data, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
generate a master data block from a data entry blockchain, wherein the data entry blockchain comprises a group of data entry blocks that are linked to each other, wherein the master data block comprises a first header and data from the data entry blocks, and wherein the header further comprises a first time stamp, an identifier that identifies a source of the data, and a first hash based on the data; and generate an analysis block comprising a log of an analysis performed on the data and a second header that comprises a second time stamp, a link to the master data block, and a second hash based on the log of the analysis, wherein the analysis block and the master data block comprise a blockchain.
