Outline
Today's Discussion
Blockchain is the system of recording information in such a way that makes it impossible or difficult to either change, hack or cheat the system.
Blockchain Technology It is a structure which stores transactional records of the
public in various databases.
The transitional records are known as “block”, while the databases are known as “chain”.
This system involves a network that is connected through peer to peer nodes.
Contd..
Healthcare workers and scientists in the biomedical field have been using blockchain technology for data sharing.
The domains in healthcare system who use this technology include drug development, consumer health, medical research, supply chain management, data security, etc.
Even in the field of l iterature research, blockchain technology is applicable in a similar manner.
Researchers can have access to a centralized database containing published research data, but for a limited period of time or for specific research articles.

Blockchain
A c linical literature review can be described as an informative and critically written document on a chosen topic.
Evidence Based Clinical LiteratureReview Services There are three categories of e vidence based
Medical Literature Review Writing Services, namely initial consultation, search services and post search services.
Initial consultation involves providing guidance, checking the type of document, assist in developing protocols for the s ystematic review and advising the use of a software.
Contd..
Search services include conducting researches of P ubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases, exporting the results of database search to a citation management tool and maintaining copies of documentations.
Post search services include making a draft of the methods section withinl iterature search, guiding on screening of citations and assisting in e diting and s ubmission of publication.
Plagiarism may be defined as the practice of copying someone else’s ideas or work and exhibiting them as one’s own.
Plagiarism and its Correction
It is essential that any s ystematic review is absolutely free of plagiarism.
Blockchain technology has an important role to play in checking plagiarism as well.
A reviewer runs a paper through a plagiarism detectorwhen discrepancies in few factors are found.
Contd..
Style/Voice: Reviewers are familiar with different styles and formats of writing.
Inconsistency: This includes changes in the type of font, font size and formatting of text that indicate copying and pasting of information from some other literature work.
Old References: In case very old and outdated references are used by a researcher then it is suggestive to the reviewer that the researcher is trying to recycle some other researcher’s work.
Contd..
Blockchain Principle
Blockchain technology has the potential for maintaining a secured sharing of patient records throughout his/her lifetime.
There are three key elements that need to be considered while developing a blockchain forb iomedical field and they are scalability, security of data access and maintenance of data privacy.
Applications of Blockchain Technology in Healthcare and Biomedical Sciences
Benefits of Blockchain Technology
Blockchain can act as a decentralized health data management backbone from wherein all stakeholders can have a controlled access to the same health records.
Data once saved to the blockchain, cannot be corrupted, altered or retrieved.
Blockchain helps the patients to own a data and gives the assurance that their health records are not misused by others.
In a s ystematic review on blockchain technology conducted several benefits of blockchain to healthcare applications they are,
Systematic Review on Blockchain Technology
The blockchain system is robust and resilient against loss of data, corruption of data and security attacks on availability of data.
Blockchain has an open and transparent nature.
Blockchain facilitates verifiability of data in areas such as pharmaceuticalsupply chain management and insurance claim processing.
