The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for an open-source academic publication platform tailored toward future open science communications. The objective is to develop an open software infrastructure that supports modernized scientific and technical communication. The platform should allow for flexible options to edit, review, comment, and compare related written works, as well as curate publications, proposals, abstracts, presentations, data, algorithms, and other communications. The current peer-review model for scientific literature publication is outdated, and there is a need for a middle ground between teaming tools like Slack and Teams and traditional journals. The platform should incorporate new technologies in open software development, version controlling, living documentation, continuous integration/continuous delivery, and others that have the potential to vastly change the paradigm of science/technical publication and communication. The project will be conducted in two phases. Phase I will focus on surveying current geoscience publication methods, assessing expected future US government open science standards, and developing a proof-of-concept system architecture. Phase II will involve developing and prototyping the software outlined in Phase I, conducting end-to-end tests, and demonstrating functionality that conforms to open science standards. Phase III will involve participating in local demonstrations, providing technical and editorial support, and exploring dual-use commercialization opportunities. The project duration is six months for Phase I, with an option period for Phase II. The funding specifics can be found in the solicitation notice on grants.gov.
