Software engineers write comments. Scientists write citations. When building healthcare infrastructure, you have to do both.

Sci2Code lets you cite peer-reviewed sources directly inside your semantic models.

If a data model can't prove its logic, keep it out of the clinic. 🏗️

#Sci2Code
A graphic by the Self Research Institute about Open Science. The main headline reads in large text: "In science, if your methodology is hidden, your results are invalid." Below this, a subheadline asks, "So why do we accept proprietary, closed-source data architecture in healthcare?" The body text explains, "Open-source isn't just a software license. For the Self Research Institute, it is peer review for semantic infrastructure — we are building the scaffolding of science in public." A dark blue callout box at the bottom emphasizes, "The foundations of human health shouldn't be a walled garden.”

"Citation Debt" in bioinformatics is a massive liability. 📉 Moving data from PDF to code snaps the source link, leaving models unverifiable later.

"Provenance by Design" means code is born with its bibliography.

#Sci2Code #Bioinformatics #OpenScience #DataProvenance
A text-based graphic with a white background. At the top, small text reads "SCI2CODE • PROVENANCE BY DESIGN". Below a light blue quotation mark, the main heading reads in large, bold text: "Your code should be born with its bibliography." Underneath, smaller text says, "Every node and threshold in a model comes from somewhere. Provenance by design keeps that link from snapping when data moves from a PDF into your codebase." The footer includes the Self Research Institute logo and website URL.

The AI is 87% confident" isn't enough in a clinic. Confidence scores don't tell you why. True Explainable AI requires grounding probabilistic LLMs in deterministic Knowledge Graphs. At the Self Research Institute, we call this Sci2Code.

#XAI #HealthTech
An infographic on a light grid background categorized under "Explainable AI". The headline reads: "A confidence score tells you how sure a model is. It doesn't tell you why." A central white panel displays a large "87%" next to text that reads: "MODEL OUTPUT — and nothing behind it." Below this, the text reads: "Clinicians — reasonably — won't act on a recommendation they can't interrogate, especially when the outcome is a diagnosis or a treatment decision." A light purple box titled "THE STANDARD ALREADY APPLIED TO PEOPLE" states: "A resident is expected to justify a differential diagnosis. Models should show their work the same way." A dark blue banner at the bottom declares in bold white text: "NOT JUST BETTER PREDICTIONS. PREDICTIONS YOU CAN QUESTION." The footer includes the Self Research Institute logo and website URL.

How much time do you lose cross-referencing ontology nodes with the papers that validate them? ⏳

OntoCode’s Sci2Code integration lets you pull citations from Zotero and embed them into your RDF code as you type. 💻

Test the beta:
👉 selfresearch.org/products/ont...

#OntoCode #Zotero
An infographic by the Self Research Institute for OntoCode's Sci2Code and Zotero integration. The main headline reads, "Search your library. Cite as you curate." The subtext explains, "Stop hand-matching nodes to the papers that validate them. Sci2Code searches your Zotero library and inserts verifiable, DOI-backed citations straight into your RDF." The visual is a mockup of a dark-mode code editor with a white "Insert Citation" modal overlaid. In the modal, a search for "heart" yields 23 matches. The top result highlights the journal article "Classification, ontologies, and precision medicine" by Haendel, Chute & Robinson (2018) from the New England Journal of Medicine, displaying its DOI link. A second result for a webpage notes, "No DOI — will prompt to add.”

A launch day promotional graphic by the Self Research Institute. The header reads "LAUNCH DAY • VERIFIED RELEASE." The main bold headline states, "Get the genuine build — verified by the Self Research Institute," with the word "genuine" highlighted in teal. Below are two product cards for "Sci2Code" and "OntoCode," both displaying a green "VERIFIED" checkmark badge. Underneath are three feature tags with green checkmarks: "GPLv3-protected," "Full CI/CD test pipeline," and "Native Zotero integration." A central box with a blue shield icon is titled "DOWNLOAD ONLY FROM THE SOURCE." The text reads, "Use only the links on our official GitHub repository and selfresearch.org. The open-source community deserves secure, verified infrastructure." A dark navy call-to-action banner at the bottom says, "Get on the official waitlist," next to a teal "JOIN THE BETA →" button. The footer features the Self Research Institute logo and website.
