An automated electronic lab notebook for reproducible computational research

by Dmitry Samarkanov for International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility

The concept of Sumatra is very appealing to any researcher who has already thought about replicability of the results and methods. It begins more and more evident that presenting scientific paper is not only about sharing the results of simulation in the form of ’static’ images, flowcharts and algorithms. Today, the reader expects to be more involved in computation process. Sumatra is a tool which makes it possible and the software that aides in reproduction of the results.
