The traditional methodology of publishing a research paper in the reputed publication industries has proved to be unpromising due to the various aspects. The outdatedness, costliness, and the lack of flexibility in the legacy systems demand to switch to decentralized ways. We are achieving this through blockchain technology which is widely known for its decentralized and immutable nature that indirectly maintains integrity, accountability, and confidentiality of the systems. Hence the blockchain is thoroughly responsible for demolishing the demerits of the traditional system. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of publishing, peer-reviewing, and also the profit-making ways to the author and the system simultaneously. Our long-term goal is to bring more transparency and profitability by introducing papercoins into the system to exchange papers between peers in the blockchain network. And hence, it will indirectly help in shifting the massive mob of researchers to this new reformative path, thus strengthening the blockchain applications.
