Enhanced Figure Authoring and Publication Toolkit for Scientific Visualization

Explore the innovative toolkit for routine authoring and publication of enhanced figures in scientific publications. This platform-independent tool integrates interactive molecular visualizations, enhances scientific illustrations, and streamlines the submission and review process. With a user-friendly editing interface and high-resolution static images, this toolkit revolutionizes scholarly authoring paradigms. The objective is to enhance scientific value, increase educational function, and engage readers interactively with the data.

Presentation Transcript

  1. IUCr submission for the ALPSP Award for Publishing Innovation 2008 Routine authoring and publication of enhanced figures

  2. Interactive molecular visualizations to enhance understanding • Rotate • Modify orientation • Alternative representations • Overlay representations • Interrogate • Long and honourable history: • Kinemage, Chime, RasMol • First Glance in Jmol, PDB but... • Platform dependent, require plugins, or supplementary information

  3. Requirements for routine publication of enhanced figures • Platform independence • Web access for authors • Serving visualization application and data • Integration into submission/review procedures • Integration into journal production workflow • Automated generation of static copy (for failsafe/PDF edition/archiving) • Authoring tools

  4. The authoring environment • The author uploads a data file (CIF) • The system provides different default styles according to the type of structure • The author edits and annotates the view • The author may supply additional scripts • The author saves the result as an enhanced figure + publication-quality static figure

  5. Saving the enhanced figure • Interactive applet • Active scripts provided by the author • High-resolution static image • Option to view dynamic or static image online • Link to allow peer review

  6. Submission/review • Author may prepare enhanced figure ahead of publication • Simply enter URL of edit workspace when asked to ‘upload source files’ • Presented alongside other conventional figures • Available for peer review • Can be edited in response to referee comments

  7. The toolkit editing interface • Essential tool for authors • Accommodates novice and advanced users • Tabbed interface allows authors to concentrate • on scientific aspects of visualization • Presets tuned to journal style requirements • Live testing, preview and feedback mechanisms

  8. Objectives • Enhance the scientific value of illustrations • Increase educational function • Allow readers to interact with the data • Preserve the essential aspects of the scientific argument • Enhance visual impact • Extend the scholarly authoring paradigm ‘...future generations [of scientific authors] will increasingly tell the scientific story using the talents of animators, of movie directors - and even of designers of interactive videogames.’
