This is great! I love Jupyter notebooks and use them all the time. From
what I've seen around academic publishing and open research circles (and
esp. at their intersections) longform written reports aren't going away. It
looks like some of the more forward-thinking venues are starting to support
a "both/and" model.
Which is wonderful IMO. More research artifacts means better verifiability
and also more opportunities for people to understand your data, findings,
methods, theories, etc. in the way that works best for them.
