Many folks have tried to build the article of the future (myself included), with the starting point of the research article. We know for sure that technology now supports integration of data, code, and narrative, and we know for certain that researchers work with a variety of complex tools, only to at the end distill them into the paper.
I think that there will be opportunity for the emergence of the mythical paper of the future, but working from the tooling of use to the artefact of dissemination, rather than working backwards.
For a long time I have had a hunch that the Jupyter notebook environment is where that might emerge from, so it's interesting to read how 2i2c is faring, their annual report is brief, but I think very encouraging - https://2i2c.org/blog/2024/retrospective/
I'll continue to keep an eye on this space.
