Hi all,

eLife has today announced that, in collaboration with Substance and
Stencila, we are supporting a project to create an open stack of tools for
authoring, compiling and publishing computationally reproducible
manuscripts online.

You may remember our announcement in July that eLife joined a consortium of
organisations committed to supporting Substance, a JavaScript library of
tools for web-based content editing. Now, we are working with Substance to
create the Reproducible Document Stack: a set of tools and frameworks
through which publishers can present computationally reproducible documents
online and in full.

By the end of the project, eLife aims to have developed and published a
working prototype of a reproducible document, demonstrating a complete
end-to-end technology stack from authoring through to publication. The
Reproducible Document Stack will ultimately allow authors to submit their
manuscripts in a format that includes embedded code blocks and computed
outputs, such as statistical results, tables and graphs. It will also
enable publishers to preserve these assets in an enhanced version of the
published online article.

Please see the full announcement for more information:
