American Geophysical Union
To support the design and development of a scholarly publishing workflow for computational notebooks
This grant supports the development of a publishing workflow for the computational notebooks used by researchers including the American Geophysical Union (AGU)’s community of earth and planetary scientists. Computational notebooks improve the interactivity, reproducibility, and reuse of journal articles by combining text, visualizations, and other elements into narrative documents, but until now they have primarily existed as supplementary materials to traditional journal articles. Grant funds will allow the AGU to to explore ways of integrating computational notebooks with publishing platforms by bringing together representatives from scientific societies, publishers, repositories, and federal agencies for a series of events, ultimately developing a workflow to preserve the interactivity of computational notebooks into their final publication.
