Tracking what actually happens in scientific studies and how many don't get published would be a good idea. And a blockchain would be a way to do it. Knowing the whole truth could make science better.

Can you explain why it cannot be done with Web2.0 and Object Oriented Programming in ACID Cloud?

Well, it’s well-known [citation needed] that to be taken seriously, any vague business idea proposal must exhibit Proof of Buzzword. Just like in the Bitcoin protocol, when a Buzzword has successfully been mined enough times its reward value halves and one must add new, previously unexploited buzzwords to the proposal to maintain its credibility.

By this token web2.0, ACID, Cloud et al. have almost no buzzword value left. Even Bitcoin is very 2017. Which is why the only logical solution is nano-engineered quantum genetic algorithms with dark matter entanglement in P-space.
