Outline

This paper reimagines peer review as structured public commentary. Traditional academic verification is hampered by anonymity, delays, and gatekeeping. Therefore, this paper proposes a transparent, identity-linked, and reproducible scholarly review system based on public commentary. Using blockchain for immutable audit trails and AI for iterative synthesis, we design a framework that encourages intellectual contributions, captures epistemological evolution, and enables traceable reputation dynamics. This model empowers disciplines from computer science to the humanities, reframing scholarly knowledge as a living process rather than a static credential.
