Emilien Schultz How to convince French HSS researchers to use Jupyter Notebooks ?

Discover the challenges of convincing French HSS researchers to use Jupyter Notebooks, and explore strategies for effective adoption and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Key takeaways

Jupyter Notebooks are not widely used in France, particularly in Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) research.
There are various hypotheses for why HSS researchers may not be using Jupyter Notebooks, including:
- Lack of understanding of what they are and how to use them
- Not being part of the research process, but rather an end product
- Difficulty in implementation and compliance with general coding best practices
- Notes by researcher that are not used in research, but rather as a teaching tool
- Notebooks may not be seen as an intermediary object for research, but rather as a final product
HSS researchers have specific needs and challenges that are not addressed by current uses of Jupyter Notebooks.
Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for understanding and addressing these needs and challenges.
There is a need to better understand what researchers are doing and why they are not using Jupyter Notebooks.
Focusing on specific uses and needs of HSS researchers could lead to more effective adoption of Jupyter Notebooks.
There are no natural communities in HSS that are using Jupyter Notebooks, making it difficult to implement and diffuse their use.
The French system is not well-suited for the use of Jupyter Notebooks, and there is a lack of training and support for their use.
There is a need for a better understanding of what researchers are doing and why they are not using Jupyter Notebooks.
The Jupyter Notebooks should be used as an intermediate object for research, rather than a final product.
The authors of papers that use Jupyter Notebooks should not use them as a final product, but rather as an intermediate object.
The use of Jupyter Notebooks should be part of the research process and not just a final product.
The authors of papers that use Jupyter Notebooks should use them to support their work, rather than to present their results.
There is a need for more training and support for the use of Jupyter Notebooks in HSS research.
