When I worked at Morressier, we always kept one eye on @curvenote.com So great to see them continue to go from strength to strength, deliver incredible features, and succeed in their mission where we did not.

Amazing things can be done even with a tiny team and great focus.

🎉🥳🙌🎊

We’ve been on a journey to close the gap of fragmented workflows, lost credit, and disconnected tools. Our new platform turns scattered outputs into dynamic, connected and reusable research components.

Here at Curvenote, we’ve been on a journey to create systems and workflows that reimagine scientific communication and collaboration. Over the last five years, we’ve been focused on a universal problem: science is advancing faster than the systems we use to organize and share it.

Introducing #ComposableScience, a new paradigm for the way science is communicated. Where data, code, figures are shared & credited. Where we can reuse and build on others' work easily.

Quote over a scenic mountain landscape at sunset. The quote reads: “I am seeing this as a turning point at a crucial time.” — Tracy Teal, openRxiv. Snow-covered mountains rise in the background under a clear sky, with evergreen trees and a warm orange glow at the horizon.

In May we hosted a convergence in Banff, Canada. The group gathered to ask better questions of science communication. Not just what’s broken?—but what could be?

We surfaced stories, tools, and a hunger for something more open, more connected.

It was great to be getting some improvements to our checks UI into production yesterday! automated checks are run whenever something is submitted from the CLI or GitHub automations, and apply rules to the document structure - now with an improved surface for configuration @curvenote.com

Screen that allows configuration of automated checks on different article kinds within the Curvenote publishing system.

The inimitable, formidable James Heaters has gifted us (some of) the contents of his brain in the form of a primer on evaluating rigor in research articles.

And he published it using @curvenote.com so it's versionable and its code is executable - the only way it makes sense to publish in 2025. 👏👏👏

JAMES HEATHERS @jamesheathers.bsky.social · Feb 14

Friends, I have written you a book on forensic metascience.

It is free. You can have it. Happy St. Valentine's Day.

If you wish to give me a gift back, you can use it to cause trouble - the greatest gift of all.

Want to see a quick demo of the technology that might replace citations in scientific papers?

Goodbye citations, hello embeds.

I was just hoping for links in scientific papers, but this is even better!

The future of academic citations: Embeds

Citations are dead. Long live embeds! In the future, you won't use traditional citations in scientific articles. You'll directly embed the snippet of science...

This is obviously how scientific articles should be, and if we had an open ecosystem designed for users rather than profit, we would have had this years ago. Time to dump commercial publishers and their paywalls.

Still science in 2024: "Our figure 2 shows this result clearly. Please scroll down 30 PAGES to see it..."

PS with @curvenote.com journals, inline figures can go full-width, and any reference to a figure shows it in a hover popup.

We've completed a 3-year field study on scientific poster design. But poster science doesn't really fit into an established journal.

This is why I started my own journal with @Curvenote.com. Niche research, published for impact, with public peer review.

Hey, I recognize that manuscript! But seriously, Curvenote and @agu.org Publishing are doing awesome work to push how we publish science into the future through fully interactive and executable manuscripts. A paradigm shift for how we communicate research to our colleagues? Time will tell!
