The Aris Program
The open research stack
Modern infrastructure for scientific research. Web-native. Human-first. For researchers who want to publish and flourish.
The Stack
Modular tools for every stage of research publishing.
Scroll Press
Publish openly
A preprint server for web-native research. Upload HTML from any authoring tool — Quarto, Typst, MyST, Jupyter, or handwritten — and get a permanent, citable URL with a DOI.
- Accept HTML from any tool
- Permanent URLs with DOIs
- Version history preserved
- Free forever
RSM Studio
Write together
A collaborative editor for RSM (Readable Science Markup). Create semantic documents that preserve meaning, render on any device, and support interactive content.
- Real-time collaboration
- Semantic markup that preserves meaning
- Interactive figures and content
- Import from and export to popular formats
Why Aris Exists
Publishers control your work, your timeline, your audience
Publish when ready, keep full rights, reach readers directly
Research is locked in static PDFs that break on phones
Web-native papers with interactive figures, readable on any device
Readers can't see how conclusions were reached
Version history shows every change. Interactive data reveals methodology. Open research you can verify.
Four Pillars
Every tool we build stands on these foundational principles.
Universal
Works on any device, for any user, in any context. Online or offline. No barriers to access.
Transparent
Your research, your control. Everything is exportable, versionable, and built on open standards.
Interactive
Research is conversation. Live figures, explorable data, and content that responds to the reader.
Humane
Beautiful, effortless experiences that respect your time, humanity, and let you focus on what matters.
About Aris
Research infrastructure hasn't kept up with research. The tools are closed when they should be open. Rigid when they should adapt. Designed for paper and broken on pixels. Built for institutions, not for the researchers who do the work.
Aris is the open research stack. Open source, community-owned, web-native, built around the research, not the journal. Press archives interactive HTML papers with permanent URLs and DOIs. Studio is a collaborative editor for semantic research documents. Both are free, both are open source, and both evolve as research technology changes.
Built by a network scientist with 20 years of experience writing code. No investors. No exits. No platform lock-in or dark patterns. Just better infrastructure for scientific research.
