PFOS should be package in bundles containing 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, scientists,  and a \textbf{quick research summary} for the layman, where the authors can tell 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 summary of research, 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.
