Whilst traditional journals will remain a way for research findings to be disseminated, Octopus will provide a primary research record for publishing and research as it happens. It will be the place where the research community will be able to record full details of ideas, methods, data and analyses, for these to be peer reviewed and assessed for quality. It will allow faster sharing of results with credit given to individual work at all stages of the research process – including peer review. ..."
