CS6 — Scientific Publishing

Design

EP per version; segment coverage thresholds; reviewer and editor witnesses; ETH routine anchors; BTC at acceptance.

Policy Profile

CFS‑Lite preprint; CFS‑Dual at acceptance; DAVS≥0.75.

Workflow

1. Preprint upload → EP → reviews → revision receipts → acceptance EP → publication EP with BTC.

Evidence & Verification

Offline verification for provenance and sequence; receipts link reviews and author responses.

Cost & Operations

Batch per day; two watchers run by the journal and a university.

Outcomes

• Clear version lineage; stronger defenses against predatory revisioning.

Risks & Mitigations

• Plagiarism attempts → VCE‑v2; author key loss → KCS rotation statements.

KPIs

• ≥95% coverage; ≤2% verification failures; archival anchors at publication.
