The new way we’ll do science
Papers should become human-readable views over a graph of data, tools, results, and certificates.
Why we’re expanding the openRxiv Labs Curvenote Reader experiment
Read on for early results and what we’ll be looking at in the next phase.
Curvenote Reader brings a better reading experience to half a million openRxiv preprints
Curvenote Reader is now live across half a million bioRxiv preprints - bringing inline citations, zoomable figures, and connected context directly into the reading flow. Find out how we modernized one of science's biggest preprint repositories without disrupting a single workflow.
Launching openRxiv Labs - openRxiv
Over the last thirteen years, bioRxiv and medRxiv have grown into widely used infrastructure for rapid research sharing in biology and medicine. The reliability and researcher-first values that have defined these platforms since their founding remain central to how we operate, and building on the trust, partnerships, and community relationships researchers worldwide depend on is…

The Micro-Paper: Towards cheaper, citable research ideas and conversations
Academic, peer-reviewed short papers are a common way to present a late-breaking work to the academic community that outlines preliminary findings, research ideas, and novel conversations. By comparison, blogging or writing posts on social media are an unstructured and open way to discuss ideas and start new conversations. Both have limitations in the proliferation of research ideas. The short paper format relies on the conference and journal submission process while blogging does not operate within a structured format or set of expectations at all. However, at times the demand exists for late-breaking ideas and conversations to arise in a raw form or with urgency but should still be archived and recorded in a way that promotes citational honesty and integrity. To address this, I present: The Micro-Paper, as a micro-paper itself. The Micro-Paper is a small, cheap, accessible, digital document that is self-published and archived, akin to a pre-print of a short paper. This meta micro-paper discusses the context, goals, and considerations of micro-paper authoring.

ALSO WHY THE FUCK ARE WE STILL JUST CITING PAPERS INSTEAD OF SPECIFIC PIECES OF DATA OR CLAIMS? https://t.co/dngS9d8nOW— Michael 英泉 Eisen (@mbeisen) May 16, 2026

Scientific Documents as First-Class Objects on AT Protocol
OXA now defines an AT Protocol lexicon for publishing scientific documents to the Atmosphere. The `pub.oxa.*` namespace lets documents live in any Personal Data Server, making scientific content user-owned, portable, and discoverable alongside social interactions, feeds, and moderation infrastructure.
Introducing Hypothesis commenting on bioRxiv and medRxiv: an updated way to engage with preprints - openRxiv
An important part of our mission at openRxiv is to collaborate with other organizations to improve science communication and promote interoperability. Preprints are just one part of the research workflow, and we want to ensure they are effectively integrated with the tools and communities that drive scientific progress. Today, we’re excited to share about another…
Introducing Aris: The publishing platform for the Post-PDF Era - Aris
We're building the future of academic publishing: tools that make it easy to create, share, and preserve knowledge in formats designed for the web, not the printing press.
NLnet; Nanoarguments
Scientific knowledge is currently scattered across papers, repositories, and disconnected platforms, with no structured way to trace how claims connect to evidence or how arguments develop. Nanoarguments builds a framework and tools for creating, browsing, and contributing to a global, federated graph of scientific discourse and evidence. Researchers and their communities can collaboratively structure claims, evidence chains, and discussion as nanopublications, which are small, cryptographically signed Linked Data snippets with precise provenance and authorship, published to a decentralized peer-to-peer network. The project builds upon the Nanodash interface to help users browse, edit, and aggregate discourse and evidence graphs, and integrates with dokieli to enable in-context authoring of nanopublications as inline annotations while reading or writing a document. A bidirectional ActivityPub connector bridges the nanopublication network and the fediverse, allowing discourse threads to start as social exchanges and crystallize into persistent, machine-readable evidence records. The project will be piloted with early adopter research groups in discourse and evidence modeling. All components will be released as open-source modules that other systems can build upon.
Towards Modular Open Science
Science is trapped in a paper-shaped box. In this talk at the ATProto community, Rowan Cockett introduces the structural states of scientific components — the floor, the buckets, and the shelf — and makes the case for a second wave of modular science where modularity emerges from packaging rather than being imposed as a precondition. The talk introduces the Open Exchange Architecture (OXA), a new standard for modular and composable scientific content.
Introducing the Open Exchange Architecture
Scientific communication still privileges narrative over utility, while the data, code, protocols, and computation that underpin modern research are pushed into hard-to-access supplements. Rowan Cockett introduces the Open Exchange Architecture (OXA), an emerging, community-driven standard designed to unbundle research from its paper-shaped container and expose the rich evidence underneath it.

Science should be machine-readable - Marginal REVOLUTION
One of the leading tasks of our time: We develop a machine-automated approach for extracting results from papers, which we assess via a comprehensive review of the entire eLife corpus. Our method facilitates a direct comparison of machine and peer review, and sheds light on key challenges that must be overcome in order to facilitate […]
