An Overview of Platforms for Reproducible Research and Augmented Publications

There exist several dissemination repositories, computation platforms, and online tools that might be used to implement Reproducible Research. In this paper, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses, or better, the adequacy of each of them for this purpose. Specifically, we present aspects such as the freely availability of contents for the scientific community, the languages which are accepted, or how the platform solves the problem of dependency to specific library versions. We discuss if articles and codes are peer-reviewed or if they are simply spread through a dissemination platform, and if changes are allowed after publication. The most popular platforms and tools are presented with the perspective to highlight new ways for scientific communication.
