The History and Funding of PubMed: A Centralized Research System in Need of Decentralization
PubMed has democratized access to scientific literature, but it's centralized nature raises concerns about integrity and permanence. This article explores the challenges it's facing and argues that a decentralized approach, built on emerging Nostr protocol, could offer a more resilient, transparent, and trustless way to do scientific research. By decentralizing the scientific record, we can ensure the integrity of groundbreaking research, promote and sponsor open collaboration.
