More about Octopus

I have to say that I like what I see from Octopus thus far. The idea is to break down scientific research papers into their different components, publish them separately, and link them all. See the diagram. "The concept of "papers" is not a good way of disseminating scientific work in the 21st century. By forcing people to share their work only when they get to the end of what can be a very long research process, it slows down the spread of scientific knowledge, and encourages "questionable research practices" in order for researchers to produce seemingly easy, clear narratives that will get their work widely read." Moreover, it's free and open. As good science should be. Here's the blog. Source code is on GitHub.
