Background

The management of scientific research projects, working on scale and involving geographically distant groups, uses frequently technological means that can loss information and access non-standardized or outdated data. The records complexity can make impossible to apply the project management discipline in a broad and efficient way.

Scope and approach

Researches involving products of vegetable origin demand collaborative studies with transparency and information traceability, increasing confidence in results. To address these issues, a solution for mapping the effectiveness of research management have been designed using blockchain technology, a decentralized solution aiming to the safety improvement, waste reduction and traceability of the scientific results along the process.

Key findings and conclusions

The use of blockchain technology allows the creation of decentralized storage location for all information, according to personalized information and safe access permissions. Smart contracts were used to define research protocols for subsequent data collection, automatic processing and analysis, assuring that protocols were respected throughout the search chain and mapping the process efficiency. Blockchain can support the scientific research chain, specifically in this case for management of the functional foods research. The proposed architecture can be replicated for any type of research with the benefits of the technology present. In this way, data search through blockchain can be done, providing tools to the different network research groups to make validations and contributes to the traceability, safety and reliability of results.

用于食品科学研究管理的区块链技术

背景

科研项目的管理规模庞大，涉及遥远的群体，经常使用可能丢失信息并访问非标准化或过时数据的技术手段。记录的复杂性使得不可能以广泛而有效的方式来应用项目管理学科。

范围和方法

涉及蔬菜来源产品的研究需要具有透明性和信息可追溯性的合作研究，以增强对结果的信心。为了解决这些问题，已经设计了一种使用区块链技术来映射研究管理有效性的解决方案，该分布式解决方案旨在提高安全性，减少浪费并在整个过程中跟踪科学结果。

主要发现和结论

区块链技术的使用允许根据个性化信息和安全访问权限为所有信息创建分散的存储位置。使用智能合约来定义用于后续数据收集，自动处理和分析的研究协议，以确保在整个搜索链中都遵守该协议并映射过程效率。区块链可以支持科研链，特别是在这种情况下，用于功能食品研究的管理。利用现有技术的优势，可以针对任何类型的研究复制提出的体系结构。通过这种方式，可以完成通过区块链的数据搜索，为不同的网络研究小组提供工具以进行验证并有助于结果的可追溯性，安全性和可靠性。
