What is the Narrative Interface?

The Narrative Interface enables researchers to design and carry out computational experiments while creating interactive, reproducible records of the data, computational steps, and thought processes underpinning their results. These records can be shared with collaborators and published as “active papers,” called Narratives, which allow others to repeat the computational experiment and alter parameters or input data to produce different or improved results. The Narrative Interface is built on top of the framework.

A very quick (one-page) introduction to the Narrative Interface is available via the .

The Narrative Interface is accessible through . Once you sign in, you will see the Narratives Navigator.

There are several ways to enter the Narrative Interface from KBase:

  • Use the menu at the top left of the landing page and select “Narrative Interface”.

  • Open a public Narrative or one that has been shared with you

  • Start a new Narrative by clicking the “+ New Narrative” button

Make sure you have the latest version

New versions of the Narrative Interface are released periodically. In most cases, KBase will automatically update to the latest version. However, if you had an older version already running, you will see a green button near the top right of your Narrative that says “New Version Available.” Click this button to update and reload the interface. You also may need to do a hard refresh (shift-reload) in your browser window.
