Another reel from a computational article on elementalmicroscopy.com this time with a 3D dataset - looking for surface defects.
The journal is running on @curvenote.com's SCMS: curvenote.com/case-studies....
(btw sped up the boring spinner in this one to save us a few secs)

It's amazing to see authors publishing on Elemental Microscopy fully engaging with the Computational Article format! publishing articles with interactive content (jupyter/python backed in this case) that allow readers to not just only explore results but also methods!

Last week was full of great conversations at the CZI Open Science Meeting in sunny San Diego ☀️ - including on the first meeting of the new OpenRxiv organization - an exciting start to the next chapter for preprints. Read more in the post 👇
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.

with some further UX tweaks this could be the basis for citations++ on the web!
