A-R-E: The author-review-execute environment

Abstract

The Author-Review-Execute (A-R-E) is an innovative concept to offer under a single principle and platform an environment to support the life cycle of an (executable) paper; namely the authoring of the paper, its submission, the reviewing process, the author's revisions, its publication, and finally the study (reading/interaction) of the paper as well as extensions (follow ups) of the paper. It combines Semantic Wiki technology, a resolver that solves links both between parts of documents to executable code or to data, an anonymizing component to support the authoring and reviewing tasks, and web services providing link perennity. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
