As a complement to the current publishing model, we propose that research centers adopt a local SEN (L-SEN), such that data will only be accessible within each institute. Although \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_academic_journals_by_preprint_policy}{pre-print policies} of most academic journals allow posting on pre-print servers prior to publication, the intra-institutional boundary may reassure the most skeptical laboratory heads in the transition. A laboratory using L-SEN to store and share \href{https://www.authorea.com/users/3/articles/3904/_show_article}{data} and \href{authorea.com/11070}{code} \href{https://www.authorea.com/11070}{code}  can naturally decide to assemble their data in a traditional paper. As such, the envisioned transition from traditional to digital publishing of scientific work will be controlled and gradual. Recent digital publishing projects like \textbf{Authorea}, \href{http://figshare.com/}{FigShare}, \href{http://thedata.org}{DataVerse} and \href{https://www.synapse.org}{Synapse} can provide an excellent starting point, already implementing most of the needed features.
