The CONP promotes the value of rich, comprehensive, living publications as open and reproducible alternatives to traditional papers. A flagship project of the CONP is NeuroLibre, its platform for reproducible publishing. Each paper is published with its code, data and computing environment, archived and re-executable, so that readers can examine and reuse the analysis behind every figure. Its successor, Evidence, extends the model to all the sciences and is in public beta.
NeuroLibre runs on the Arbutus cloud of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada. It has published 21 papers, all now in the MyST format, with more than 70 archived DOIs for their data, code and computing environments, and in 2026 it published its first wired paper, whose figures stay connected to the data and analyses behind them. Datasets on the CONP Portal that were derived from a NeuroLibre publication link directly to it.
NeuroLibre and Evidence aim to make research more reproducible by enabling others to review and validate the analyses and results. They also aim to democratize interactive visualization of complex data by simplifying the process of accessing and running analysis code from other laboratories, reducing unnecessary barriers for collaboration.
