  7. A scientific publisher’s core mission is to present science to scientists

  8. What We Cannot Do Well:Three dimensional brain scansGenome sequences and their derivativesSystems biology (network) analyses

  9. A scientific publisher’s core mission is to present science to scientistsTo stay true to this mission, publishers should develop tools to help scientists disseminate their results

  16. PROBLEMS1. The results are a computer program. How to review them?2. After publication, how can readers access the model to use it? We cannot host an executable program.3. The authors want to publish another paper describing the contest. This is even more unconventional.

  17. As a publisher, our role is to disseminate science.The need for digital and computational tools, as well as platforms for data handling, present a huge opportunity.
