Closing the gap between Jupyter and academic publishing Mark Hahnel Marius Tulbure 10.6084/m9.figshare.5441956.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/media/Closing_the_gap_between_Jupyter_and_academic_publishing/5441956 <div>In academia, the published paper is the currency of the realm. However, reports of a lack of reproducibility and transparency have led funders and others to require open data and code as part of their published outputs, but current academic publishing systems still cannot support the solutions that technology has enabled, such as the Jupyter Notebook. Mark Hahnel and Marius Tulbure discuss the opportunities for Jupyter notebooks to be the final output of academic research, arguing that Jupyter could help disrupt the inefficiencies in cost and scale of open access academic publishing.</div><div><br></div><div>While working with publishers at fig<b>share</b>, Mark and Marius received several enquiries from authors about supporting executable notebooks. As a result, the company has enabled the publishing of <i>.ipynb</i> files directly to fig<b>share</b> with a file preview in the browser. Mark and Marius explain what is needed for the Jupyter notebooks to be recognized in this format and how credit can be assigned. They also demonstrate working examples and discuss the role peer review might play. Mark and Marius then turn to the work they have been doing to enable <b>F.A.I.R.</b> (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) principles using the suite of Jupyter tools with Jupyter notebooks and showcase an executable paper with reproducible data that enables interactive hacking.</div> 2017-09-26 11:42:56 Jupyter notebooks Jupyter Notebook GUI Programming Languages Multimedia Programming
