The future of interactive preprints and papers were on display (especially the openRxiv labs and Curvenote previewa) at the #FORCE2026 @force11 conference in Singapore, and here I discuss what was presented and what the future of "living figures" might hold

Was great to meet a RIO author at the #FORCE2026 conference. Mochammad Tanzil Multazam published a Research Idea on "GO-PUB: Open-Select-Submit" - proposing a ride-hailing style app (inspired by GO-JEK in Indonesia) that connects authors with journals. https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.5.e47232

I'm now finishing the last morning of FORCE2026 (https://force11.org/force2026/) in Singapore, and am looking forward to DataCite Connect Singapore 2026 this afternoon. Reflecting on people paying close attention to interesting talks, here's a Buffy Fish-Owl from Hampstead Wetlands Park in northern Singapore, one of the many pretty birds I've seen here.

That went fast. Closing #FORCE2026 remarks now from conference host and co-Chair Bella Ratmelia from SMU. Seeing myself from the organising committee, Bella and the local team did an incredible job. The @force11 meeting was in very safe hands and it really felt a like lot of the original "Beyond the PDF" energy was back

Phew, that's my third and final session at #FORCE2026 over. Just finished an interactive BoF with @danielskatz discussing the challenges of AI+software+ethics with a great audience.

Really thought provoking #FORCE2026 keynote from @IanMulvany. Interesting to hear about the concept of the "jagged frontier" of AI ability, and where it sits and moves against collective human ability frontier https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/the-shape-of-ai-jaggedness-bottlenecks
