This fundamental result was packaged into a PDF, a static format that does not allow the reader to access and interact with some of the most important elements of the research:  data and code.  Fortunately, these were released shortly afterwards by the \href{https://losc.ligo.org/events/GW150914/}{LIGO Open Science Center} as a Jupyter notebook. But why were the paper and the Jupyter notebook published separately? 

\textbf{It's clear that the PDF, which is unable to contain and execute data and code, can not be the format of choice for the paper of the future.} On the other hand, an Authorea paper is web-native and can easily include data and code and allows the reader to interact with the full research as they go through it. 

To demonstrate this point, we included in this article the signal processing tasks on strain time-series data associated with the LIGO GW150914 data release.
