Calling all Researchers
Are you already working in a modular, composable way?
Do you share your methods, data, code, and insights as they’re ready—bit by bit, not just at the end?
Are you remixing and building on the citable work of others?
Are you pushing the boundaries of how science is shared, reused, and advanced?
Then you’re already part of the movement. We are calling it Composable Science—and we want to hear from you. Or do you see new opportunities by sharing in a modular way.
We are looking for stories to share.
Roll Up Your Sleeves: Help Shape the How
We’ve got to a big idea—and now it’s time to get practical. CSF is looking for curious, committed individuals to help us tackle some of the toughest (and most exciting) questions around how to make Composable Science real.
We’ve identified three focus areas. Pick a theme. Join a team. Let’s build what’s next—together.
Explore the themes below:
-
What if peer review wasn’t a final hurdle, but an ongoing conversation? In a composable world, science is shared piece by piece—methods, data, code, visuals, insights. This working group, in partnership with PREreview, is for those ready to rethink how we review each of those parts.
We’ll explore:
How to credit peer review across modular outputs, not just papers
What faster, more transparent models could look like
How we build trust without gatekeepers, bottlenecks or burnout
If you believe peer review can be more open, more continuous, and more collaborative—this group is for you.

Composable science only works if the pieces connect.
That means clear, shared standards for how we describe, cite, and stitch together the parts—data, code, methods, visuals, narratives, and more.This working group will dig into the technical glue behind modular science. Together, we’ll explore:
What minimum standards are needed to enable reuse across disciplines
How to make modular outputs discoverable, citable, and interoperable
How we balance flexibility with consistency across evolving tools and formats
If you’re passionate and detail oriented join this group.
-
If we want science to be reused, we need to make it worth it. This working group is focused on the systems, signals, and incentives that encourage and motivate researchers to share earlier, build on each other’s work, and get credit for doing so.
We’ll explore:
What motivates researchers to share modular outputs—and what holds them back
How funders, institutions, and journals can better reward reuse
New models of credit, attribution, and recognition beyond the paper
If you're curious about what drives behaviour in science—and how we shift it toward openness and reuse—this is your space.

“We started a movement because we need a place big enough to imagine something different—and small enough to actually build it together. Modular science isn’t just a technical shift, it’s a cultural one. And that starts with community.”

“I am seeing this as a turning point at a crucial time.”
Driving Change, Together
This work is made possible through partnership with PREreiew and support from The Navigation Fund.
