Abstract
The scientific method encourages sharing data with other researchers to independently verify conclusions. Currently, technical barriers impede such public scrutiny. A strategy for offering scientific data for public analysis is described. With this strategy, effectively no requirements of software installation (other than a web browser) or data manipulation are imposed on other researchers to prepare for perusing the scientific data. A prototype showcasing this strategy is described.
