Aims

Blockchains (ISSN 2813-5288) is an international, cross-disciplinary, scholarly, peer-reviewed, open access journal on blockchain and its applications.

Blockchains publishes regular research papers, surveys, and comments. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results and new findings in as much detail as possible. All classic and emerging topics in blockchain domains are welcomed, including but not limited to blockchain networks, architecture, security and privacy, applications, methods, models, framework, and empirical studies. Interdisciplinary topics also are encouraged, such as technology and management convergence in blockchain, medico engineering cooperation in blockchain, etc. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. For theory papers, full details of proof must be provided so that results can be verified. For experimental papers, full experimental details must be provided so that results can be reproduced. Additionally, electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculations, experimental procedures, etc., can be deposited along with the submission as “Supplementary Material”.
