Modular & Composable Science
Modular science shifts research from final papers into reusable research objects and parts. This includes narrative text, data, code, figures, workflows, and structured metadata.
Why it matters
Modularity makes research easier to share quickly, check, update, improve, and build upon. It supports better methods sharing, clearer provenance, and a healthier culture of reuse.
What we do
Support ways on developing new ways to review, incentivize and standardize modular outputs
Develop shared definitions
Prototype workflows that separate content into reusable components
