*Notebooks, challenges and issues related to the research data cycle*

TODO : Add "open science", "reproductibility" keywords

This workshop follows the existing actions (webinars, seminar, student training, workshops, summer school, etc.) of the interdisciplinary [GT Notebook](https://gt-notebook.gitpages.huma-num.fr/site_quarto/) working group, started on 2021. By choosing not to define this object, the "notebook", too precisely, we are trying to map its boundaries each time they appear as new practices, new tools, new ways of writing or seeing documents that potentially implement any of Literate Programming principles (Knuth, 1984).

### Aims & Set up

With this workshop proposal we try to answer to three main goals :
- this original workshop focuses on Notebook's prior functionalities (interactivity, transclusion, literate programming, etc) to foster exploration of historical data within collaborative to publication pratices, so we adapt our discourse to humanities research communities that don't know or use Notebook actually;
- by proposing this workshop at CHR, we are aiming at sharing ideas, theories and practices co-built within our french speaking international network (~250 scientists, engineers, doctoral fellows working in multiple disciplinary fields) to international audience;
- to our knowledge and experience, the proposed workshop contributes to incentives - through theoretical support and technical experimentation - to better understand complex relations on performing computational humanities, between "hack AND yack" DH paradigm (Nowviskie, 2016)

> [name=Rey ]
> @RaphaelleK n'ayant pas lu l'article, tu peux en dire un peu plus ici :) ?

> @reycoseb il s'agit de déconstruire l'opposition humanités & techniques/tecnologies qui court avec l'idiome DH depuis les ThatCamp "more hack less yack", i.e. "more grok less talk". L'article de 2 pages en fait un court historique critique. j'ai repris le point 3 ci-dessus.
> ci dessous une proposition de "set up" à retoucher

In the morning, a first part (one hour) will provide pratical and theoretical introduction to Notebooks from an interdisciplinary point of view built on GT Notebook's work in progress. During the second part of the morning we will discuss and pratice collectively around some issues encountered when using a Notebook leads to writing a computational scientific paper to be peer reviewed.
Two frameworks - the Journal of Digital History and RZine journal, will be quickly presented : their workflows and how editorial teams try to mitigate or take into account different issues.
Within the afternoon, participants will practice and publish a replicable or derivated Notebook by following a step by step tutorial based on the previously seen workflows, with the support of the trainer's team.

### Academic background for the work

The gt notebook is a working group

### Proposed length (e.g. half day or full day),

A day with three parts : introduction (theory/first practice), data collection, computation/edition

### An outline of the day, including the types of activities, the expected key outcomes

#### Morning

- Introduction of Notebooks universe (morning) : We first introduce the "Notebook" to audience by collectively manipulate such an object, and next we try to introduce the multiple dimensions we face when we question it from inter disciplinar points of view : epistemology, ecosophy, digital literacy, reproducibility
- From data collection to publication (morning) : we focus on common issues (computational reproductibility, differentiating workflows between code / natural langage, templates of publication, etc. ) that researchers using Notebooks integrating api collection encounter when the Notebook becomes less an exploratory tool and tends to be more a computational scientific paper. We try to answer collectively these reflexive and technical issues by reviewing externalities and knowledge production elicitation through literate programming paradigm, and potential notebook framework that take into account the question of reproducibility.

> Je me suis dit que c'était peut être mieux de présenter JDH et RZine de façon contextualisé dans la deuxième partie de matinée, avec peut être une table ronde / réflexion incluant les participants, plutot que de rajouter çà l'après midi. Sinon ca fait beaucoup de théorie et pas tant que çà de pratique.
> > [name= Mattia] Une table ronde sur les revues reproductibles ça serait vraiment bien. Mais on a que 2 personnes. Il faudrait une revue en plus.
> > > [name= Rey] Programming Historians, même si pas executable ? ou alors il faut qu'on parte en chasse pour en trouver une autre, peut etre chez les archéo ? Ben Marwick a recruté Simon Carrignon (FR/EN) pour la revue [Advance in archeological practice](https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/advances-in-archaeological-practice/article/introducing-the-associate-editor-of-reproducibility/DBFACBCD750189B1CB4C8332FB6FFE34)
> > > > [name= Mattia] PH c'est pas mal, mais c'est ni exécutable, ni basé sur des notebooks. J'ai l'impression qu'on sort pas mal du champ de la journée. Mais je viens de voir qu'il y a E. Schultz dans l'équipe Fr.
> > > > [name= Rey] Il y a aussi Episcience, et Nephal + si on veut aussi parler revue Diamant, je ne sais pas ou en est Raphael Tournoy. Je doit m'échapper pour aller chercher les enfants, mais je repasse ce soir :)

#### Afternoon

Guided Tutorial (afternoon) : We propose a step by step tutorial based on notebook examples and possible derivatives within two main trends of usage, actually in production : jupyter/python (JdH) and quarto/R (Rzine) templates

First part : Notebooks and reproductibility

Mooc reproductibilité.
Présentation avec Konrad invité sinon suite du TP matin et introduction git / github

Second part : Notebooks and publishing (Rzine, JDH)

This afternoon session explores how Git and GitHub have emerged as academic publishing standards, transforming how researchers structure, collaborate on, and disseminate their work. Drawing on practical examples from Rzine and JDH, we will examine how proper repository organization—including media management, source code documentation, and notebook editing—supports transparent and reproducible digital scholarship workflows.

We end this afternoon by asking two existing journal (Jdh, RZine) to present theirs workflows and how they manage these issues today and in the future.

> Les manipulations seron réalisées à l'aide d'une instance Jupyter Lab déployée par les organisateurs du workshops.

Aucun autre prérequis

- Reliable internet connection for each participant
- Each participant must bring their own computer. All you need is a web browser

### any technical knowledge, skills, or experience participants should have prior to attending the workshop

> On procéde comment techniquement ? On demande a chaque utilisateur de venir avec un Jupyter déjà installé ou on déploie/utilise un serveur jupyter lab/binder en amont ?
>
> La seconde solution est un peu mieu car dans ce cas on ne demande qu'un ordinateur et un navigateur. :+1: [name=Seb] yes !

- SPARQL and Python Knowledge (pas de "maitrise" nécessaire, mais une petite connaissance aidera beaucoup au suivi. Les personnes intéressées peuvent suivre ce tutoriel PH : https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/intro-to-linked-data)

- Curiosity for data critical theory (Drucker, 2011)

Max 30 participants; à cause des manipulations
