Narratives are collaborative (multiple people on your project can work on a Narrative together), shareable (you can share your Narrative with specific people or with everyone), publishable (a finished Narrative is similar to a research paper, and can be cited as a URL), and reproducible (you can repeat or even change another scientist’s computational experiment if they publish it as a Narrative). We believe that you will ultimately help both yourself and other researchers by sharing your Narratives so that others can see what you were thinking, what you did, and what you concluded from your analyses. However, all of your Narratives are private (viewable only to you) until you decide to share them.
