Octopus: The New Primary Research Record for Science

Home / Project Briefing Pages / CNI Fall 2021 Project Briefings / Octopus: The New Primary Research Record for Science

December 1, 2021

Alexandra Freeman
Director, Octopus
Octopus Publishing CIC

Octopus is a new platform, launching in spring 2022, which is designed to be the new primary research record for science. Instead of being a platform for the publication of papers, it is designed for easy and rapid sharing and assessing of work, in smaller units. Octopus will be where researchers can record every piece of work that they have done, as they do it, to assert their priority and for it to be assessed and critiqued by their peers. Octopus has a unique structure to encourage a collaborative approach to the scientific process, with publications building on each other over time, regardless of authorship. In this talk, its creator will explain more about how it will work, and why it was designed the way it was.
