Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Blockchain and digital ledger technology (DLT) enable decentralized transaction and data management over a peer-to-peer network topology. Blockchain technology represents a new paradigm for how information is stored and shared, as it mitigates or eliminates the influence of extractive intermediaries, or can be used when no intermediaries exist. Smart contracts rather than intermediary actions provide transparent, verifiable, and immutable means to embed and automatically execute governance rules and business logic.

This Special Issue will publish research that supports the progress of non-financial blockchain applications, as such uses may have a greater impact in the long run compared to cryptocurrencies, which have been more thoroughly investigated. We invite papers that explore how to overcome the technological and socio-economic challenges and limitations of blockchain and how it can shape innovation and competition in digital platforms, as well as advancements of applications including but not limited to environmental accounting, access to supply chain finance for smallholder farms in the agri-food sector, credential dissemination for higher education, business-to-business cross-border trade and logistics, supply chain management, tracking of intellectual property, blockchain-based e-voting, personal identity security, and government record security. We welcome novel interdisciplinary approaches in blockchain research that draw from several disciplines, including but not limited to computer science, operations management and information systems, statistics, game theory, economics, and law.

This paper evaluates the scoring platforms for decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), examining their methodologies and highlighting their strengths and limitations. Using content analysis, we scrutinize the scoring methodologies of the Prime Rating, DAO Meter, and DeFi Safety platforms, evaluating code, documentation, security, team composition, governance, and regulatory compliance. We analyze the underlying assumptions and data sources relied upon by these platforms, using a content analysis approach. Our investigation furnishes valuable information for stakeholders, aiming to evaluate or enhance DAO scoring methodologies used by scholars and practitioners in the finance and blockchain fields. By contributing to a more rigorous understanding of DAO performance assessment, this paper supports informed decision making and promotes the development of a dependable and efficient scoring system for the decentralized financial ecosystem.

The increased use of advanced technologies by consumers and hospitals is moving care closer to patients, and the challenge is one of how patient data can be shared with external care providers and patients. To support care continuity, patient data include both clinical data used by external care providers and non-clinical data used by social care providers. Care coordination of a patient outside a hospital requires peer-to-peer connectivity among a number of these clinical and social care providers, using a digital platform that aligns their goals and assigns their resource sharing responsibilities. With no single entity supporting such care coordination, most hospitals currently distribute this responsibility to several of its provider partners and patients. Such a division of responsibility with no real time feedback leads to discontinuous resource sharing, localized data analysis, and challenges in tailoring care to improve health outcomes. The goal of this paper is to propose a blockchain architecture model that uses a number of constructs for creating and assigning ownership to patient data so it can support peer-to-peer resource sharing and uses smart contracts to support goal alignment. Using two blockchain applications implemented in Hyperledger and illustrating their potential representation using the constructs in multi-chain, we develop a conceptual model for developing blockchain applications in general to support continuity of care. The generalizability of this model is illustrated by applying these constructs to four additional healthcare applications. Finally, we conclude the paper with a discussion of the limitations and directions for future research. Full article

Blockchain technology, initially known for its applications in the financial industry, has emerged as a promising solution for various other domains. One prominent area for the use of blockchain-based solutions is forensics, specifically the chain of custody maintenance and control. While there have been numerous research projects exploring the use of blockchain technology in digital forensics, limited attention has been given to its application in controlling of the physical evidence chain of custody. In this research, we aim to explore the literature on the use of blockchain technology to solve problems related to the physical evidence chain of custody. Through a systematic literature review (SLR), we analyzed 26 resources discussing blockchain-based solutions for evidence chain of custody issues, based on requirements that could be applied to both physical and digital evidence. The results showed that there is a lack of studies involving the use of blockchain technology to solve problems related to the physical evidence chain of custody, and future research should focus on solving the issue.
