I am very impressed by the calibre of people posting scientific related posts on Steemit, and I think many of the models proposed all seem to suffer from the problems that you mentioned (or at least haven't addressed them adequately). I can't see that the blockchain system can be used to solve these issues because it is only a means of decentralizing content and its creation (like Wikipedia), but perhaps it could encourage scientists to be better communicators to the general public and also other scientists from around the world?

I believe blockchain technology could contribute specially on the storage and free aspects that I mentioned. But the bigger challenges are on ensuring quality and stopping plagiarism. If you look here on steemit itself it is a big concern and it should be even bigger on scientific work!
