BitViews is an open-source blockchain application that validates, aggregates, and disseminates online usage data of author’s approved manuscripts (AMs) deposited in open access repositories worldwide. The public ledger thus created provides reliable data to assess non-citation research impact, thereby incentivizing researchers to maximize visibility by releasing their open access AMs. The cost of the project is to be shared among libraries through a new crowdfunding mechanism.
