Here&#8217;s a very nice video <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1-dUkyn_fZA\">presentation<\/a> from SciPy2013 by John Kitchin. He describes how he writes his blog, his class notes, his papers, and his books using the principles of reproducible research via Org mode. <\/p>\n<p> Kitchin is a professor of Chemical Engineering, not a computer scientist, so he serves as a poster boy for reproducible research: a scientist who collects all his text, data, programming code, and results into a single document. As he points out, when he wants to remember how he generated a complicated graph for a paper, it&#8217;s right there in the Org mode source for the paper. <\/p>\n<p> This is a fairly short talk (about 25&ndash;30 minutes) so there&#8217;s no reason not to set aside some time to give it a look. At the end of the talk he gives a pointer to a github repository that has the (Org mode) source for the talk. Definitely worth your time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Longtime readers know that I&#8217;m a big fan of reproducible research and, specifically, the way that Emacs and Org mode help make it possible.
