New approaches to publishing scientific reports at NSR

Advantages of two new approaches for scientific e-publishing

This article tries to show the advantages of an alternative way for the publication of manuscripts, that is, the Metajournal. It is based on the following idea: authors of scientific journals can submit an abstract to this facility and editors and referees can routinely scan the Metajournal to find out good manuscripts. On the hand they can get in touch with the authors to publish the manuscrip...

Registered reports: a new publishing initiative at Cortex.

New journals for publishing medical case reports.

Because they do not rank highly in the hierarchy of evidence and are not frequently cited, case reports describing the clinical circumstances of single patients are seldom published by medical journals. However, many clinicians argue that case reports have significant educational value, advance medical knowledge, and complement evidence-based medicine. Over the last several years, a vast number...

Interactive modeling adds a new dimension to scientific publishing.

Quantitative modeling has revolutionized modern biology. The ability to reduce biological processes to sets of equations enables us to reproduce many features of the living system: complex nonlinear systems can defy intuition, and sometimes the best way to put a given finding into perspective is to simulate it. More importantly, quantitative modeling can yield emergent insights. We do our best ...

New ways of scientific publishing and accessing human knowledge inspired by transdisciplinary approaches

Inspired by interdisciplinary work touching biology and microtribology, the authors propose a new, dynamic way of publishing research results, the establishment of a tree of knowledge and the localisation of scientific articles on this tree. The current two-dimensional standard of scientific publications is outdated. Over-information in almost any field is a problem. Therefore, it is suggested ...
