The scientific article is the album. What is a song?
🚀 To move beyond end-point peer review, PREreview & @continuous.foundation are co-leading the Modular Peer Review Working Group.
60+ people from diverse backgrounds and regions have joined this space for co-creation.
Take a look at their first session outputs and follow along👇

“In a physical world of .. printed journals, bundling made sense. In a digital world, we are increasingly constrained by boundaries that no longer make sense. In a world of AI, what does the bundle prevent us from seeing?” 🎯
Great piece by @row1.ca on unbundling research into modular knowledge! >
This article on a similar theme is better because it recognises that it's not just for AI it's also for humans, and it's not about breaking down papers into "atoms of knowledge" but about reusable components for ongoing research (not the same).

Access removes locks. Structure creates movement.
Why modular science changes everything.

Building trust, building together: In San Diego @continuous.foundation & openRxiv hosted a workshop bringing together developers of scientific communications tools. Implementation focused, and most importantly we got to work together.

A federated architecture is emerging. More about what's next in 2026. 🚀
Real change happens when people build together. In San Diego, @openrxiv.bsky.social and CSF brought tool builders and researchers into one room to share a keyboard, test ideas, and prototype modular, machine readable publishing.

Huge thanks to the Proceedings Committee, @curvenote.com, Jim Weiss, all the authors, and reviewers who made this happen. 🙌

The @openrxiv.bsky.social community is charting the future of preprints — not just as papers, but as connected nodes in the open research web.
Our reflections + @row1.ca's lightning talk on building continuous, connected publishing.

The Reuse Incentives Working Group will explore what drives researchers to share and reuse modular outputs—from figures and code to data and methods and how we can design better systems and incentives to make it worthwhile.
@creativecommons.bsky.social and @continuous.foundation are teaming up to make reuse the default for modular science.
Join the cohort working to shape incentives for reuse in modular science. The group will kick off in January 2026.
Apply by Sunday, Nov 30

Quote over a scenic mountain landscape at sunset. The quote reads: “I am seeing this as a turning point at a crucial time.” — Tracy Teal, openRxiv. Snow-covered mountains rise in the background under a clear sky, with evergreen trees and a warm orange glow at the horizon.
Introducing #ComposableScience, a new paradigm for the way science is communicated. Where data, code, figures are shared & credited. Where we can reuse and build on others' work easily.
Share your story & help shape how we make modular science a reality 👉 continuousfoundation.org/get-involved
We have an open call with @continuous.foundation for a Modular Style Peer Review Working Group to:
🌻 Co-create practical models for reviewing non-traditional outputs
🌻 Build trust without gatekeeping
🌻 Design review processes that reflect researcher needs
Join us: continuousfoundation.org/peer-form
Thanks to @navigation.org for making it all possible. 🚀
We named a movement. Composable Science. Not just a model. A mindset. Modular. Discoverable. Creditable. Reusable.
Science that doesn’t sit in a drawer. It gets passed on, credited, remixed, and reapplied. Faster to share. Faster to find. Faster to use.
In May we hosted a convergence in Banff, Canada. The group gathered to ask better questions of science communication. Not just what’s broken?—but what could be?
We surfaced stories, tools, and a hunger for something more open, more connected.

Some work getting started over the last year at Continuous Science Foundation; not psychology specifically.

Inspired by the conversations at our workshop last week, we are more convinced than ever. We can't keep treating broken systems like sacred ones.
It is time to build what science actually needs — here to do it together.
🚀
We had an amazing meeting in Banff this week with 22 open sci nice advocates. More to come soon!

Excited to see what comes out of the Continuous Science summit this week!

So many intersections between research and education — the interplay between discover and dissemination.
So few of the things we know about good education are applied to science communication / papers.
