"Jupyter notebooks may replace the traditional research paper typically shared as a PDF..." - hardly a replacement as long as Jupyter notebooks are not self-sufficient files you can download and view offline everywhere. Even if you have up-to-date versions of Python and all the libraries installed you still have to run a server and open it in a browser which is a way more clumsy than just opening a PDF in Okular/Evince/AcrobatReader. I also doubt Jupyter notebooks are easy to view on mobile devices.
- sueders101 8y agoYou can view them just as easily as you would a pdf. Running the code inside them is what takes extra effort. Which isn’t necessary if you just want to understand the processes being applied.
- qwerty456127 8y agoCan they include pre-rendered code execution results to display when code execution is not available?
- sueders101 8y agoYes, they do by default if I’m not mistaken. The output “cells” are saved alongside the code.
