Blockchain is a new technology that promises to change how individuals and organizations interact across various boundaries. The adoption of blockchains is beginning to transform diverse industries such as finance, supply chain, international trade, as well as energy and resource management and many others. Through trust, data immutability, decentralized distribution of data, and facilitation of collaboration without the need for centralized management and authority, blockchains have the potential to transform the academic publishing domain and to address some of the current problems such as productivity and reputation management, predatory publishing, transparent peer-review processes and many others. In this paper, we outline the technologies available in the domain of permissioned blockchains with focus on Hyperledger Fabric and discuss how they can be leveraged in the domain of academic publishing. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/isu-180020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,9]],"date-time":"2018-10-09T19:16:11Z","timestamp":1539112571000},"page":"159-171","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Permissioned blockchain technologies for academic publishing"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Petr","family":"Novotny","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM T.J.
