科学界掀起了一股强烈的开放浪潮。开放数据和方法、开源软件、开放获取、开放评审以及开放研究平台，为新型研究和出版形式提供了法律和技术解决方案。然而，发表可重现的研究成果仍然不是普遍做法。原因包括缺乏激励措施，以及缺乏用于将数据集和源代码等研究材料与科学论文一同提供的标准化基础设施。因此，我们首先研究基本原理和现有方法。在此基础上，我们的主要贡献在于确定了作者、读者、出版商、管理者以及文献保护者的核心需求，并随后描述了一种可执行研究纲要（ERC）。它是出版流程的主要组成部分，为发表和获取计算研究提供了一种新途径。ERC提供了一种新的可标准化打包机制，它将数据、软件、文本和用户界面描述结合在一起。我们在用户需求和既定出版流程的背景下，讨论了ERC的潜力及其面临的挑战。我们得出结论，ERC为查找、探索、重复使用和存档基于计算机的研究提供了一种新的潜在可能。
A strong movement towards openness has seized science. Open data and methods, open source software, Open Access, open reviews, and open research platforms provide the legal and technical solutions to new forms of research and publishing. However, publishing reproducible research is still not common practice. Reasons include a lack of incentives and a missing standardized infrastructure for providing research material such as data sets and source code together with a scientific paper. Therefore we first study fundamentals and existing approaches. On that basis, our key contributions are the identification of core requirements of authors, readers, publishers, curators, as well as preservationists and the subsequent description of an executable research compendium (ERC). It is the main component of a publication process providing a new way to publish and access computational research. ERCs provide a new standardisable packaging mechanism which combines data, software, text, and a user interface description. We discuss the potential of ERCs and their challenges in the context of user requirements and the established publication processes. We conclude that ERCs provide a novel potential to find, explore, reuse, and archive computer-based research.
