Data

Code

Create a new paradigm for research publishing Generate high-profile manuscripts that are interactive at the data and code level

Query for information regarding how the published data was generatedAllow exploration of alternative analysis approaches

Benefits realizedAllows rapid review of data and analysis approaches by study team internally for manuscript developmentPublic resource available to the research community for reference datasets and analysis approaches

Expect additional functionality to be phased in over time
