Cryptographic Peer-reviewing Solutions

W3C Credentials Community Group,

Hello. Has anyone explored centralized or decentralized cryptographic approaches to enabling groups of scholars or scientists to be able to peer-review one another's digital documents? Technologies with which to enable forms of both closed and open peer review are of interest.

I'm thinking about digital signatures, verifiable credentials, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and other technological topics with which to enable teams, groups, or communities of end-users to be able to peer-review their digital documents, e.g., PDF- and HTML-based articles.

Are these topics of any interest? Could anyone recommend any software projects or publications on these topics? Thank you.


Best regards,
Adam Sobieski
