So yes, you don't need a block chain to set these requirements, and if you're using a blockchain you don't need these requirements, _but_, a blockchain journal and these requirements would likely pair very well together, as they cover respective weak-points (centralized journals might only ensure the journal's publisher can replicate; decentralized journals have to have some kind of automated validation).
