About ActivePapers
Store your data as recomputable documents — so any published result can be re-run, verified and preserved.
ActivePapers publishes independent guides, explainers and resources for Computational scientists, research software engineers, PhD students and lab groups in physics, chemistry and bioinformatics who run simulations and data analysis (molecular dynamics, NumPy/HDF5 pipelines) and need their published results to be recomputable and their data to stay usable for decades — plus the wider open source scientific Python community.. Pages are written and maintained by the ActivePapers Writers' Room.
How we work
We build each page from published, verifiable sources and cite them where we rely on them. When the underlying information changes, we revise the page and its "Updated" date reflects that change. Where a page links to a product or service we may earn from, we say so clearly — it never decides what we write.
