An alive publication is a new genre for presenting the results of scientific research, which means that scientific work is published online and then constantly developing and improving by its author. Serious errors and typos are no longer fatal, nor do they haunt the author for the rest of his or her life. The reader of an alive publication knows that the author is constantly monitoring changes occurring in this branch of science. Alive publication faces the inertia of scientific publishing traditions and, in particular, traditional bibliometrics. Unfortunately, at present, the author who supports an alive publication is dramatically losing out on many generally accepted bibliometric indicators. The alive publication encourages the development of the bibliography apparatus. Each bibliographic reference will soon have to contain such important for the reader updating on-the-fly attributes as attendance, number of external links, date of the last revision, etc. It is to be expected that as the alive publication spreads over to the scientific world, the author's concern for the publication's evolution will become like a parent's care for the development of a child. The Internet will be filled with scientific publications that do not lose their relevance over time.

翻译：活体出版物是一种展示科学研究成果的新体裁，指将学术成果在线发表后，由作者持续更新与完善。严重的错误和笔误不再具有致命性，也无需作者终生为此困扰。活体出版物的读者知晓，作者在持续追踪本学科领域的最新动态。活体出版物面临着传统学术出版惯性的阻力，特别是传统文献计量学的制约。遗憾的是，目前维护活体出版物的作者在诸多通用文献计量指标上明显处于劣势。活体出版物推动了文献索引体系的发展。每一条参考文献将很快需要包含对读者而言实时更新的关键属性，如访问量、外部链接数、最后修订日期等。可以预见，随着活体出版物在科学界的普及，作者对其出版物发展的关注将如同父母对子女成长的关怀。互联网上将充满永不过时的科学出版物。
