+
+    A fully working template/framework is introduced that will do the
+    following steps/instructions (all in simple plain text files).
+    \begin{itemize}
+      \item \alert{Automatically downloads} the necessary
+        \emph{software} and \emph{data}.
+      \item \alert{Builds} the software in a \alert{closed
+        environment}.
+      \item Runs the software on data to \alert{generate} the final
+        \alert{research results}.
+      \item A modification in one part of the analysis will only
+        result in re-doing that part, not the whole project.
+      \item Using LaTeX macros, paper's figures, tables and numbers
+        will be \alert{Automatically updated} after a change in
+        analysis. Allowing the scientist to focus on the scientific
+        interpretation.
+      \item The whole project is under \alert{version control} (Git)
+        to allow easy reversion to a previous state. This
+        \alert{encourages tests/experimentation} in the analysis.
+      \item The \alert{Git commit hash} of the project source, is
+        \alert{printed} in the published paper and \alert{saved on
+          output} data products.  Ensuring the
+        integrity/reproducibility of the result.
