Scientific data, its analysis, accuracy, completeness and reproducibility play a vital role in advancing science and engineering. Open Science Chain (OSC) is a cyberinfrastructure platform built using the Hyperledger Fabric (HLF) blockchain technology to address issues related to data reproducibility and accountability in scientific research. OSC preserves integrity of research datasets and enables different research groups to share datasets with the integrity information. Additionally, it enables quick verification of the exact datasets that were used for a particular published research and tracks its provenance.
