Sci2sci

Sci2sci is building an electronic lab notebook and a publishing platform in one interface. This will allow to store all experimental data and metadata in one place, and quickly release it in public access with one click.

In a nutshell, sci2sci offers full stack data publishing - from the experiment planning through raw data acquisition and analysis to the final research report - all in a single platform, with a number of benefits that cannot be offered by a current journal pdf manuscript:

PDF journal publication:	sci2sci publishing:
Data is not standardized, so it’s hard to analyze, reproduce and compare	Standardization and interoperability of the data due to pre-made experimental templates
Text and images are not AI-native: parsing and knowledge extraction are difficult	ML-ready design of research papers
Static figures and graphs	Dynamic and interactive tools for data visualization
No chance of statistical reanalysis	Possibility for reanalysis as the “source code” of the experiments is always available
Pre-publication peer review takes 90 days on average; Only 2-3 experts participate in review; Updates to the study after publishing are almost impossible	Open source-like collaboration flow
Contribution tracking is as obscure as this description of it	Digital CVs for researchers showcasing their expertise
It takes days to prepare and publish data	One-click data sharing
Data reuse is not possible	Data reuse is encouraged

Sci2sci is aiming at creating software that will make principles of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data a default in scientists’ daily routine. Sci2sci mission is to make research data openly available for reuse and collaboration by academic researchers, the industry and the public.

The larger vision and inspiration behind the project is described in this article.
