Abstract
Several surveys suggest that as many as 33% of scientists have personal knowledge of a colleague who fabricated or falsified research data. This indicates the need of a system that can aid the assurance that research data is not modified. Block chain technology ensures data authenticity as recorded data is not mutable. In this study, a command-line data recorder and notary service based on blockchain, SEcured REcorder BOx (SEREBO) is presented. SEREBO can help individual scientists or research teams to prove data authenticity after logging data files into the system, and to provide traceable notarization records. Hence, SEREBO a potentially important tool for auditing research data against modifications, and auditing notarization events against backdating or postdating. SEREBO is available for forking at https://github.com/mauriceling/serebo under GNU General Public License version 3 for non-commercial or academic use only.
