All authors contributed equally to this work Abstract. Publication formats are being sought that facilitate automatic processing and knowledge integration and are better suited to the current pace of research. Here we present an infrastructure for producing and consuming minimal publishable units, nano-publications, directly from a researcher’s electronic notes or manuscripts which allow the integration of multiple resources. We describe a feedback loop resulting from the use of nano-publications, give a detailed example, and explain how this can be combined with existing web technologies. 1
