👉 Publication computing refers to the practice of publishing research, data, and other scholarly outputs through digital platforms that facilitate open access, collaboration, and dissemination. It involves the use of specialized software and infrastructure to manage, store, and distribute academic content, often leveraging cloud computing, digital repositories, and open-source tools. This approach democratizes access to knowledge by removing paywalls, enabling global collaboration among researchers, and promoting transparency and reproducibility in scientific work. Unlike traditional publishing models focused on subscription-based journals, publication computing prioritizes making outputs freely available to the public, often with metadata, code, and supplementary materials, thereby accelerating scientific progress and fostering innovation.
