What if everyone in the world were in your lab – a ‘hive mind’ of sorts, but composed of countless creative intellects rather than mindless worker ants, and one in which resources, reagents and effort could be shared, along with ideas, in a manner not dictated by institutional and geographical constraints? — Chris Patil and Vivian Siegel

Wikis

• provide the opportunity to structure digitally published items more contextually than stand-alone articles (particularly print-based ones) allow for
• are compatible with any mode of peer review tested so far
• can be integrated with every step of the research cycle, so as to highlight research as a process and improve reproducibility
