Customizable Pre-Submission Audits

Every research paper requires a different approach. Our Global Review Network allows you to set the exact parameters of your review before you publish:

🔓

Open Review

Full transparency. You know the reviewer, they know you. Perfect for collaborative, mentorship-style feedback and networking.

👁️‍🗨️

Closed Review

The reviewer's identity remains hidden to ensure they can provide brutal, honest feedback without fear of academic politics.

🛡️

Double-Blind

Maximum objectivity. You strip your identity from the paper, and the reviewer remains anonymous. Pure, bias-free scientific critique.

🛡️ We Do Not Publish. DecentraSec is an independent infrastructure layer. We provide brutal, honest feedback and cryptographic IP protection. We are not a journal, and we do not guarantee publication.

Publishing reality

The twelve‑month
bottleneck

Top-tier journals move slowly. Manuscripts sit in limbo. Meanwhile, structural and formatting gaps quietly stack the odds against you—before anyone reads your science.

80%

Of desk rejections are avoidable—think formatting slips, structural holes, and missing components—not your hypothesis.

Wiley, 2025

6–12

Months

At leading journals, authors routinely wait half a year or more—only to receive a rejection letter. Your calendar burns; your momentum doesn't.

AJE, 2025

0

Native cover

During that waiting window, most workflows offer no cryptographic shield for your ideas—exposure is the default state of the queue.

Harvard Medical School

Why the window is open now

An estimated 60–70% of manuscripts face desk rejection each year—yet serious pre-submission integrity rarely ships alongside provable IP protection. AI plus blockchain finally lets researchers tighten both at once. The category is still being defined—and the teams that move first set the standard.

Early proof

Built where it matters

Real pilots, real capital, real accuracy targets—so when you enter the Global Review Network, you're not betting on vaporware.

500+

Researchers onboarded

Beta cohort across field pilots and early-access signups—people who wanted rigor before the journal inbox.

Awards & hackathons

Recognition for the direction we're shipping: integrity-first tooling academics actually want to use.

$30K

Invested

Capital committed to the integrity layer, reviewer tooling, and on-chain seals—not slide decks.

98.9%

AI structural accuracy

Internal benchmark on formatting and structural error identification—so the first pass catches what journals flag first.

80%

Fewer structural errors

Reduction in structural issues caught pre-submission in our pilot cohort (N = 47 papers).

37%

Quality lift

Improvement in reviewer-rated manuscript quality after AI-assisted structural checks (pre vs. post).

How DecentraSec works

Accelerate rigor. Protect what's yours.

The pre-submission layer that sharpens quality, connects you to Tier‑1 human experts, and cryptographically seals drafts before they enter the traditional publishing pipeline.

01

The integrity layer

AI integrity check

Instantly surfaces content and structural risks—the same class of flaws behind the majority of avoidable desk rejections—so you fix them before an editor ever sees your file.

02

GEAR — Global Expert Audit & Review

Reviewers network

Connect with Tier‑1 human experts who deliver rigorous feedback in days, not months. Every reviewer is PhD-level or faculty from indexed institutions, verified before onboarding.

03

Integritas Seal

Paper secured

Cryptographic timestamp on-chain seals your draft—your ideas gain mathematical protection from misappropriation without forcing premature public disclosure.

For Researchers

How It Works

Step 1

Set Your Flags & Upload

Define your track, choose your review type (Open, Closed, or Double-Blind), and submit your abstract or full manuscript.

Step 2

Enter the Network

Your Research Card goes live on our secure board. Top-tier, verified academics from our Global Review Network evaluate your abstract and send you proposals.

Step 3

Secure Your IP Natively

Anchor early work anytime with POD (Proof Of Discovery, $10)—ideas, abstracts, or drafts—or generate a full Scientific Priority Certificate (Integritas Seal, $75) before review begins.

Step 4

Accept a Proposal & Get Feedback

Select the expert that fits your timeline and budget. Funds are held in our 15-day secure escrow until the audit is delivered.
