A simple kit to use computational notebooks for more openness, reproducibility, and productivity in research

Comparison between the Pluto notebook file available for editing (A) and the rendered html version (B). The function in set_kit.jl creates a.jl file (A) with a brief tutorial on the Markdown syntax, paths to the most relevant folders, and suggestions of use. The Pluto notebook offers the following features: Cells of code can be hidden by clicking the “Show/hide code” button (A.1), the time for running the code is shown alongside the “Run” button (A.2), and the file type to be exported (.jl,.html, or.pdf) can be chosen by clicking the “Export” button (A.3)—no detailed formatting is possible, however. In the html version (B), a button (B.1) allows the reader to edit and run the code on Binder, a free cloud server for scientific notebooks. The video accompanying this tutorial details how the document works (available in https://github.com/FellowsFreiesWissen/computational_notebooks).
