# Build a Decentralized Academic Publishing Portal
PRIZE BOUNTY
------------
1,600 DAI.
OVERVIEW
--------
Academic publishing around the world needs to change. Currently, a few giant publishing corporations own and control the rights to ¾ of all published academic research. They don't make this research freely available, opting instead to charge steep prices for access. This approach limits information exchange and seriously hampers scientific progress.
At Arweave, we think it's time to find a solution and we need your help to build one!
Build a fully decentralized Academic Publishing Portal using Arweave's blockchain technology to 1)host the portal and 2) store open-source, non-copyright infringing academic files permanently.
By creating this permanent portal, you will be enabling anyone to have free, perpetual access to academic research, in a manner that has never been possible before.
Anyone with knowledge on HTML, CSS, and Javascript can participate, Arweave is extremely easy to interact with for any web developer.
GOALS
-----
1. The dApp must be fully decentralized, only using Arweave's blockchain technology to achieve this goal
2. The dApp must have a basic, beautiful and usable design
3. The user login process must be conducted using Arweave wallets, without the need for registration
4. Before content can be submitted, logged in users must be required to confirm that:
1. The materials they are submitting are licensed under a [Creative Commons license](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/) or under [Open Access](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access)
2. If the materials they are submitting are original work, they submit them under a [CC BY- NC 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) license
1. Other users should be able to donate AR (Arweave's cryptocurrency)to publishers
2. Users and visitors must be able to search through the published content
3. The homepage must display the latest user submitted academic content
4. Any extra features implemented will be taken into account for the final winner decision
