Confenni: A Crypto-donation Plugin for the Open Journal System

Scientific publishing has undergone a significant transformation; once a non-profit avenue for sharing scientific knowledge, now it has been exploited by some publishers to gain financial profit, but leaving authors without direct monetary rewards for their hard work and impact. Confenni, a plugin for the Open Journal System platform, offers a solution so that the authors of scientific articles can also receive financial benefits. It allows readers to donate cryptocurrency directly to the authors of scientific articles. The donations are distributed among authors, reviewers, and publishers based on predetermined smart contract percentages, ensuring fair monetary rewards to all contributors.
