Introduction

Introduction to Nodes and the Open State Repository

PreviousQuick StartNextSign Up & Login

Last updated 1 year ago

Nodes is a next-generation open-science solution for sharing and managing manuscripts, data, code, and all other artefacts of research, in one place. Directly associated files, documents, data, code, links, etc., can be uploaded in one connected unit called a . Our goal is to create a rewarding workflow and a canvas to elevate your research, while providing an unmatched environment to enable best open science practices.

Our vision is to enable open, composable, and verifiable research

Nodes has many exciting technological innovations under the hood, including persistent identifiers that are immune to content drift and link rot, an open-state repository that makes all forms of scientific content accessible to all humans and machines, and entirely novel ways for scientists, funders, and the public to interact with research.

Nodes is an interface for researchers to share and interact with primary research outputs in the form of . Research objects combine manuscripts, data, code, peer-review reports, community activity, etc. into a single, rich, fully contextualized digital entity.

Nodes is currently in . We are actively developing the Nodes application and the . We will be rolling out additional features over time.

Help us make it better: Your feedback counts

We invite all scientists to try it out, experiment with it, and give us feedback via the button in the bottom right corner of Nodes. Tell us what you like and what you don’t. If you encounter a bug, miss a feature, or have an idea of how we can make Nodes better, please let us know. Your feedback means a lot to us!

Elevate your research and keep control over your work

DeSci Nodes are designed to make open science easy, convenient, and rewarding. With our -enabling technology, you can supercharge your preprints and publications. You can turn your work from static PDFs into dynamic, interoperable research objects. A Node contains all artefacts relevant to your work: papers, data, code, and more. And copyrights are retained at the origin (i.e. the authors and/or their employers).

You can use Nodes and publish in journals

We do not take any copyrights of the materials you post on Nodes. Anything you post on Nodes can also be published in most other scientific outlets that are relevant to you. Most scientific journals will consider manuscripts that were posted on Nodes, preprint servers, or open repositories prior to submission. A list of journal policies can be found on , as maintained by individual publishers, and . You can use Nodes as a support tool in the journal submission process to give editors and referees access to all relevant parts of your research project (not just the manuscript).

Before using Nodes, be aware: Our aim is to have stable, durable, traceable and continuous availability of scientific content published on Nodes.

Check that all your (pre)publishing rights and commitments are triple-checked and in order before publishing a Node.

It is your responsibility to ensure all rights are appropriately covered.

Once published, Nodes can be updated at will, but not deleted. The history of change will remain accessible.
