Enhancing Research Data Integrity Through Blockchain: Design and Implementation of a Web Based Management System

In this digital age, data driven research has become indispensable.Ensuring secure and transparent experimental data management remains a key challenge.Blockchain technology with its decentralized architecture, immutability and resistance to tampering, presents a viable solution to these problems.This paper presents a blockchain based web management system designed to streamline the handling and integrity of experimental research data.Leveraging the capabilities of blockchain technology enables the system to ensure data integrity.A critical aspect of research is data, by securely storing file hashes on decentralized network.This blockchain based web-system allows users to login with its credentials and upload experimental data in form a csv file and associate it with respective universities and supervisors of the user.Later the system allows the supervisor to login with its credentials to access the file for further analysis.Upon file upload, the system will calculate the hash of the file and stored on blockchain network.This approach guarantees the immutability and authenticity of the uploaded research data.The system prevents tampering and ensures transparency of the experimental data, which is paramount in academic research.The proposed system addresses the growing need for secure and efficient data management in research, providing a reliable solution for maintaining data integrity throughout the research cycle.
