PFOS should be package together with papers that are reproducible, interactive and multilayered.  \textbf{Papers} should contain all the information to reproduce the described research (including the main \textbf{code} and \textbf{data}). It should also allow the reader to interact with its content, for example through interactive figures. See \href{https://www.authorea.com/users/23/articles/8762/_show_article}{here} for a more detailed description of what the "Paper of the future" should look like.   The important point is that papers should also contain links to "supplementary" documents created for a larger audience. A good start is to include a \textbf{draft of a press release}, where the media can find the most relevant facts and a few quotes from the scientist, and a \textbf{quick summary of the research} research summary}  for the layman, where the authorsof the research  canshortly  tell their the short  story of their work  to the general public. As discussed in the description of the paper of the future, \textbf{videos} are also useful, complementary ways to communicate the results of the research. For example astronomers at Ohio State, when they submit a paper to arxiv, they accompany it by a simple YouTube video that explains the basic idea (they call it \href{http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/cosmicvariance/2011/08/23/astro-coffee-briefs-from-ohio-state/#.VZU9i-2qqko}{"Coffee Briefs"}). Together with a quick message, these scientists also get their faces out: this way colleagues can identify them easily at conferences and the public can finally see that scientists are "normal" people, helping to make science more approachable.
