By releasing the source code of our algorithms, we aim to contribute to the growing body of tools that are specifically tailored for use in this field. Moreover, we hope that the open availability of analysis methods is can pave the way towards gradual opening of bibliographic data collections, following related successes in other fields, such as the human genome sequencing project and subsequent research programs, which critically rely on centrally maintained and openly licensed data resources, as well as thousands of algorithmic tools that have been independently built by the research community to draw information and insights from these  data collections.
