Why topic pages exist
Science evolves faster than most publications can keep up. Traditional papers capture a moment in time — but they rarely get updated once published. Topic pages are ScienceEcosystem’s way of keeping knowledge current: continuously linked to new papers, datasets, and code.
Each topic page summarises a field or concept — for example Ecology or Open Science — drawing directly from open databases. They function as living summaries that evolve automatically as new research is added to the ecosystem.
From topics to living papers
Over time, ScienceEcosystem will extend topic pages into living papers — dynamic review articles written collaboratively by researchers. These will combine narrative text with automatically updating citations, data links, and reproducibility layers.
The goal is a world where scientific synthesis doesn’t expire — where review and primary research stay connected, transparent, and openly maintained.
