The Journal, a provenance ledger for scholarly reuse
A v0.1 scholarly publishing prototype that catalogs marked papers and proposes signed records for attribution, derivation, and reuse.
Field notes
The public catalog exposes scholarly metadata alongside cryptographic-looking SHA-256 hashes, including an entry identified as 10.55555/jrnl.0003 and attributed to Marco Biroli, Hernan Larralde, Satya N. Majumdar, and Gregory Schehr. The homepage reports three committed artifacts, 13 ledger entries, and no attribution receipts. Submission is sign-in gated, while the certificate, priority timestamp, and likelihood-ratio protocol are presented as the project’s stated workflow rather than demonstrated operations.
