Re-imagine scientific publishing. What would you change? My answer: No paywall, no delay, straight to the web. Open data, open code, interactive/animated figures. Transparent, rolling peer review, version control, CCBY license, citable DOIs. See it here: https://andrewgyork.github.io/
Our first publication using this method, describing a way to improve STED microscopy:
https://andrewgyork.github.io/rescan_line_sted/ …
Each interactive figure/animation shows hundreds of "figures" worth of data. All simulation/figure generation code included. #Reproducibility #OpenSource #OpenSciencepic.twitter.com/d8bbm79EQT
Our second publication, an "open-source hardware" microscope add-on for blazing fast 3D imaging:
https://andrewgyork.github.io/remote_refocus/
Includes raw data, CAD files, parts list, build instructions, figure generation code, and example hardware control code. #OpenSource #OpenSourceHardwarepic.twitter.com/sPXG42bZVY
Finally, an HTML/CSS/Javascript template, if you want to try it out yourself:

It's as simple as forking the @github repo, editing `index.html`, and activating Github Pages. (Your first edit should probably be to remove my name from the author list)pic.twitter.com/8Hq7MDZU15
Our third GitHub publication, exploring an apparent paradox in optical measurement:

Scientific publications are usually answers; I think there's a lot of value in asking and sharing good *questions*. This is one of my favorites. #opensciencepic.twitter.com/79OSq7LUxb
How do you get a measure of the impact of your research?
This is a really excellent question. The short answer is, the same way I did with traditional journals. The Google analytics JavaScript gives me a way to count page views: https://github.com/AndrewGYork/rescan_line_sted/tree/master/javascript/google-analytics … The GitHub/Zenodo integration gives me a citable DOI:https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.591251 …
But the real answer is longer, and more specific to me. I invent and build new kinds of microscopes. My personal definition of impact is when people build or use my inventions. That takes a while! But usually the people doing so contact me, and often we work together.
My postdoc work has had time to turn into commercial products. A few recent examples:https://mobile.twitter.com/HenriquesLab/status/1023619153050198018 …
. Great to see variations on 
guess which one is wide-field and SIM. (this is tom20 & tubulin in cos7). pic.twitter.com/dMqs77JmIaMy GitHub publications are still too recent for this type of result. I know of three labs who I believe will publish work that builds on them in the next few years, but I think it would be premature to name them.
However, I can point to my favorite example: the #miCube!
https://hohlbeinlab.github.io/miCube/index.html …
I didn't contribute to the microscope in any technical or intellectual way, at all. But, the @HohlbeinLab based their page on my GitHub template: https://andrewgyork.github.io/publication_template/ …
And made it better!
But how much does it cost??
Free ninety nine! (Thanks, @github !)
The research we conduct typically costs tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per project, but I intentionally only used free services to publish the results, so no one would be excluded from following our example.
Cern-backed @ZENODO_ORG for persistence and citability:
https://guides.github.com/activities/citable-code/ …
(Thanks @arfon !)
How are you handling persistent identifiers and digital preservation?
Good question! I'm following this recipe to produce DOIs: https://guides.github.com/activities/citable-code/ … The DOI points to a CERN-backed repository, which I trust to continue to exist. For example, the DOI in: http://andrewgyork.github.io/remote_refocus points to: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1146083 … Which links to Github for viewing
Of course, anyone can fork the Github repo, or download the ZIP and host it on their own server (CC BY license). If Github ceases to exist, I'd move to a new host and update the CERN entry accordingly. Even if I don't, you'll always be able to download from CERN.
In addition to the detailed Github changelog of any fixes/improvements to the manuscript, we'll issue Github "releases" as appropriate, which will show up in the CERN repo as timestamped, numbered versions (v0.1, v0.2, etc).
Shoutout to @arfon for the Github/CERN integration by the way!
