LensPub

An academic platform for researchers to permissionlessly submit, publish and review while earning publicly verifiable reputation.

Any researcher with an H Index (computed at read) above 3 can accept any other researchers paper with feedback.

Any paper accepted by four or more qualified (H Index) researchers will contribute toward the authors H Index.

When a paper is published its citations are enumerated and the cited papers are updated towards the researchers H Index.

All paper, reviewers and H indexs are publicly viewable for metadata studies.

Backend is Lens Reference Module, deployed on Polygon's Mumbai test network. The contract encapsulates the logic and permissions for publishing, reviewing, looking up H Indexes and persisting the relationships between papers as well as researchers. https://mumbai.polygonscan.com/address/0x554C6E9Ee31bbE1DdB06312F0440f582Cb54bee9#code#F13#L1

The app evens are index on The Graphs sub-graph. Profiles, Publications and Reviews are indexed and derived from contract events. https://thegraph.com/hosted-service/subgraph/mdeisen/re-search

The frontend is a nextjs app styled with tailwind and dasiyUI. To interact with the Sub Graph we used Redux Toolkit Query. To communicate with Lens we used the Hooks and the Lens Client.
