Abstract

The introductionof openaccessdatapolicies by researchcouncils,the enforcementof bestpractices,andthedeploymentofpersistentonlinerepositorieshaveenableddatasets thatsupportresultsinscientificpaperstobecomemorewidelyaccessible. Unfortunately, despite this advancement in the curation/publishing workflow, the data-driven figures within apaper oftenremain difficult toreproduce. Plotting or analysis scripts rarely accompany the manuscriptor any associated software release; andeven if they do, it maybeunclearexactlywhichversionwasused. Furthermore,theprecisecommandsand parametersusedtoexecutethescriptsareoftennotincludedinaREADMEfileorinthe paper itself. Thispaperintroduces anewopen sourcedigitalcurationtool, Pynea, for improvingthe reproducibilityof LaTeXdocuments. Eachfigurewithinadocument is enrichedbyautomaticallyembeddingtheplottingscriptanddatafilesrequiredtogenerate it,suchthatitcanberegeneratedbyreadersofthepaperinthefuture. Thecommandused toexecutetheplottingscriptisalsoaddedtothefigure’smetadata,alongwithdetailsof thespecificversionofthescriptused(ifthescriptistrackedwiththeGitversioncontrol system). Ifthedocumentistoberecompiledwithafigurethathassincechanged,orhad itsplottingscriptordatafilesmodified,thefigureisregeneratedsuchthattheauthorcan beconfidentthatthelatestversionofthefigureanditsdependenciesareincluded.

Introduction

Motivation

Journalarticles and conference proceedingsremaina popular meansof disseminating importantresults,backedupbydata-drivenfiguresorplots,toavastaudience. However, ensuringthatthesefigurescanbereadilyreproducedby others,throughtheavailability ofthe underpinningsoftware anddata, isa crucialaspect ofthe workflow (deLeeuw,

2001) thathas largelybeenoverlookedin thepast. Thishas occasionallyled toa lack ofconfidence inresults by peers andthe potential for thecredibility of thedata to be calledintoquestion(Allison,Brown,George&Kaiser,2016;Donoho,Maleki,Rahman, Shahram&Stodden,2009;Stoddenetal.,2013). Thescientificresearchandpublication processisundergoingsignificantreforminresponsetothisso-calledreproducibilitycrisis (Baker,2016; LeVeque, Mitchell&Stodden, 2012). Indeed, recent effortsby funding bodies,publishers,andeducationalestablishmentsareattemptingtoaddressthisissueby facilitatingtheimplementationofreproducibleresearchpractices.

Therequirementtodepositdatafilesinopenly-accessiblerepositories,suchasthose provided by theUK Data Service1, Figshare2 or Zenodo3, is now mandatedby many fundingbodiessuchastheEconomicandSocialResearchCouncil (ESRC)(Economic &SocialResearch Council(ESRC),2017) andtheEngineering andPhysical Sciences ResearchCouncil(EPSRC)4.Thesestricterpoliciesandapproacheswillhopefullyfurther the longevity of the data that supports funded publications. Similarly, the release of thesoftware underopensourcelicencesalsoincreasesthetransparencyofthescientific workflowandalsoitspotentialuptakewithnewusers(Easterbrook,2014;vonKrogh& Spaeth,2007). Educationalresources, suchastheOpenScienceMassive OpenOnline Course(MOOC)5, are raising awareness of various techniques and tools available to researchers,anddemonstratinghowtousethemeffectively,tofacilitateamoreopenand transparentscientificworkflow. Finally,dedicatedsoftwarejournals,suchasSoftwareX6

andTheJournalofOpenSourceSoftware7,arearelativelynewphenomenonintherealm ofscientificpublishing. Notonlydotheyofferarouteforresearcherstoobtainrecognition forthiskey componentof theresearch workflow,they encouragethesubmissionofthe softwareitselftopersistentonlinerepositories;thisinturncanbereadily accomplished usingtoolssuchasPyRDM(Jacobs,Avdis,Gorman&Piggott, 2014)anddvn(Leeper,

2014). Asaresult,thelongevityofthesoftware’sexistenceisgreatlyenhanced,enabling itsfutureusebyotherresearchersaroundtheworld.

Unfortunately,despite theincreasing availabilityof theunderpinning software and data,theprocessofre-generating afigureinascientificmanuscriptisoftenstillfraught withdifficulty.

manuscript itself. Similarly, evenif the manuscript includes a ‘Data Statement’with linkstoalltherelevantdatasets,itmaybeunclearwhichonewasusedinagivenfigure. Furthermore,theindividualplottingscriptsthemselvesareoftennotpublishedalongwith thesoftwareusedtogeneratethedataitself;andevenwhentheyareincluded,theyoften donotcomewithaversionnumber,makingit difficultto ascertainwhetherthecorrect versionisbeingusedwhenattemptingtoregenerateafigure. Thesecrucialcomponentsof theanalysisandcurationworkfloware,unfortunately,frequentlyoverlooked(Vandewalle,

2012) making the process of reproducing a figure tedious, error-prone, or practically impossible. Addressing this issue requires better support for manuscript authors, particularly through theuse of software tools that make theprocess of reproducing a figureasstraight-forwardaspossible.

ImprovingtheReproducibilityofFigures

LaTeXisadocumentpreparationsystem(Lamport,1994)thatisespeciallypopularwithin thescientificcommunity. Whenanauthorwishestosubmittheirmanuscripttoajournal, theLaTeX‘source’/markupcanbecompiled,typesetandrenderedasasinglemanuscript in Portable Document Format (PDF) (Adobe Systems Incorporated, 2006) which is supportedbymostmajor publishers. Indeed, thePDFisextremelyprevalentwithinthe publishingindustrybecauseitoffersafeature-rich,cross-platform environment. Italso includestheabilitytoembedfileswithinamanuscript,andtoenrichthemanuscriptitself viametadatafields. Byexploitingthiswiderangeoffunctionalityitispossibletodevelop toolsthatcanfacilitatethereproducibilityofthefigureswithinthemanuscriptitself.

ToolssuchasSweave(Leisch,2002)andknitr(Gandrud,2015;Xie,2015)arecapable ofincorporating executablescripts into a LaTeX documentin an effortto enhance its reproducibility(see e.g. (Hinsen,2011, 2015) forotherapproaches towardsenhancing adocument’s reproducibility). WhentheLaTeX markupis compiled, thesescriptsare replacedby theiroutput(e.g. afigureoranumericalvalue) inthefinalPDFdocument. However, the underlying data dependencies and scripts would also need to be made availabletoensurethatthefiguresarereproduciblebythewiderscientificcommunityin additiontothedocument’sauthor. Itmaybemoredesirabletoembedthescriptsanddata withinthefigures,andsubsequentlyembedthosefiguresintothefinalPDFfile,inorder toformastandalonereproducibledocument.

This paper introduces a new digital curation tool, called Pynea (currently in the prototypestage),for improvingthereproducibilityofdata-driven figureswithinLaTeX documents. Byspecifyingthepathstotheplottingscriptanddatafilesrequiredtogenerate agivenfigurewithintheLaTeXdocument’smarkup,Pyneaautomaticallyregeneratesthe figurewiththesefilesembeddedsuchthatitcanbereproducedinthefuture. Thespecific commandusedtoexecutetheplottingscriptisalsoincludedwithinthefigure’smetadata. Moreover,iftheplottingscriptistrackedwiththeGitversioncontrolsystem(Chacon& Straub,2014)then thespecificversion ofthat scriptis alsonotedwithinthe metadata. ThefiguresarethensubsequentlyembeddedwithinthefinalPDFdocumenttoachievea standalonedocumentwithimprovedreproducibility.

ReportStructure

The ‘Method’ section presents the software architecture behind Pynea, including a discussionofthedesignchoicesmade,any limitationsoftheapproach,andinformation regarding howto obtainthe software. Anexample applicationthatshowcases thekey featuresofPyneaisprovidedinthe‘Application’section. Thepaperfinisheswithsome conclusionsandrecommendations.

Method

Pyneais astandalone Pythonapplicationthat comprises severalstages. Put briefly, it firstensuresthatanyfigurestobeincludedintheLaTeXmanuscriptareup-to-dateand embedstherelevantplotting/analysisscript(hereafterreferredtoasthescript)anddata files. It then invokes a suitableLaTeX compiler,such as pdflatex8 (Thành, 2000), to collatethefiguresandgeneratethefinalPDFmanuscript. Pyneasubsequentlyattaches thefigurefiles themselvestothemanuscript. However, as aprerequisite step, the user mustspecifythe paths/locationsto theplottingscript,thecommandusedtorun it, and alsoanydatafilesitdependson. ThisisachievedbyaddingPynea-specificmacrostothe LaTeXmarkup,demonstratedinFigure1,whicharedefinedasfollows:

• \pyneascript{plot.py}tellsPyneathatthefigurewasgeneratedusingascript calledplot.py. Notethatscriptswritteninotherlanguagescanalsobeexecuted, aslongasthefigureoutputisinPDFformat.

• \pyneacommand{python3 plot.py}tellsPyneathatthescript istobeexecuted using Python 3. Note thatany pathsprovided hereare relative to the directory containingthescriptfile.

• \pyneadata{data1.dat data2.dat}tellsPyneathatthescriptdependsontwo datafiles,data1.datanddata2.dat.

Followingthisprerequisitestep,Pyneacanberunatthecommandlinewiththeuser specifyingthepathto theLaTeX sourcefile. Figure2illustrates thekey tasksthatare subsequentlyperformed.

TheexampleLaTeXsourcefile,denotedexample.texinFigure2,isfirstparsedusing thethird-partyTexSoup9module. Thisextractsinformationabouteachfigure,namelythe expectedpathtothefigurefileitself(plot.pdfinFigure2)andtheinformationprovided inthethreemacros.

Eachfigure is thenconsidered inturn and may be regenerated prior to theLaTeX manuscriptbeingcompiled. Thisregenerationstepensuresthatthemostrecentversionof theplottingscriptanddatafileshavebeenusedtoproduceit. Furthermore,theusercan beconfidentthatthesamecommandspecifiedintheLaTeXfileistheonethathasbeen usedtoexecutethescript andproducethefigure. Afterafigurehasbeenregenerated,it isenrichedby usingthePyMuPDF10moduletoembedthefollowingfilesandmetadata forfuturereference:

• Thescript(embeddedfile). • Thedatafiles(embeddedfiles).

• Theplottingscript’sexecutioncommand(metadata).

• If thescript is underGitversion control, the versionof thescript thatwas used. ThistakestheformofaSHA-1hashfromGit’srevisionlog. (metadata).

All of these embedded resources help to improve each figure’s reproducibility. However, in the age of Big Data (Chen & Zhang, 2014), regenerating a figure can potentiallybeacomputationally-andmemory-intensiveoperation. Afigureistherefore regenerated only if thefile does not alreadyexist, if thescript or data files havebeen modified in the Git repository (determined using the GitPython11 module), or if the commandusedtoexecutethescripthaschanged. Ifthescriptordatafilesarenotunder Gitversioncontrol,Pyneaerrsonthesideofcautionandregeneratesthefigureeachtime. Ifthefigurehasnotbeenmodified,theexistingversionisused. Notealsothatonly PDF figuresarecurrentlysupportedbyPyneasuchthatfiguresinotherformatsarealwaysleft unchanged.

Afterall supported figureshavebeen enrichedwith theirscript file, data files, and commandmetadata, theLaTeX compilerisinvoked toproducethemanuscript inPDF format. However,whilethefigureswillberenderedintheirplaceholdersasexpected,the compilationstageignorestheembeddedfiles. Forthisreason,therawfigurefilesarealso attachedseparatelytothemanuscriptasafinalstepinPyneatoensurethescriptanddata filesremainaccessible. ThefinalPDFmanuscriptthereforehastwolayersofembedded files:

Itisworthnotingthat BigDataposesachallengefor theapproach taken byPynea, since the embedding of large data files would make the manuscript inconvenient to download,shareandstore,especiallyifthereaderdoesnotwishtoreproducethefigures within. When an author is ready to compile the final version of the manuscript, it maybemoreappropriatetoinsteadsubmitthedatadependencies(identifiedby thefile namesprovided in theLaTeX source) toa dedicated onlinerepository and embedthe repository’s Digital Object Identifier (DOI)12 and version information in the figures’ metadata.

\end{figure}

\end{document}

Figure3. ThecontentsoftheLaTeXsourcefile,paper.tex,usedinthesinewaveapplication.

Application

To demonstrate the outcomes of Pynea, considera Python script whichplots a time-dependent sine wave y(t) = Asin(2πf t), where A is the peak amplitude and f is the frequency. The plotting script readsin data from two files, amplitude.dat and

frequency.dat, forthequantitiesAand f respectively. Theresultingfigureisincluded withinamanuscriptusingtheLaTeXmarkupinFigure3.

After Pynea is run, Figure 4 shows how the script and data files are successfully embeddedinthesine.pdffigureviatheAttachmentstab/feature. User-definedfieldsare notpermittedwithinaPDF’smetadata. Therefore,Pyneaaddsanentryinthekeywords

Conclusions

Thecreation ofdigital curationtools, suchas Pynea, is a crucialstep towardsa more openandreproduciblescientific workflow. However, thesuccess ofsuchtools willbe largelydependent on their uptake and support by academia, industry, and publishers. Furthermore,anumberof issuesandcaveatswere identifiedduring thedevelopmentof thisworkwhichwillneedtobeaddressedtoimproveusability. Forexample,onecaveat istheinabilitytocreateuser-defined/custom metadatafieldsthroughPyMuPDF.Pynea worksaroundthisbyappendingtherelevantmetadatatothekeywordsfield, butthisis ofcoursenotideal. Moreover, fewfigureformats allowfor theembeddingoffilesina straight-forwardmanner,anditmaynotalwaysbepracticaltosaveeveryfigureasaPDF.

Restrictions that may be imposed by publishing bodies regarding the inclusion of embeddedfilescanpresentadditionalchallenges. Forexample,theembeddingoflarge datafileswillinturnincreasethefigure’sfilesize,forwhichtheremaybeanupperlimit imposedbythepublisher. Furthermore,whenajournalarticleisbeingtypesetusingthe publisher’sowntemplate,embeddedfilesmayautomaticallybestrippedout;particularly ifPDFfilesare‘flattened’,convertedtootherformats,orrenderedonthejournal’swebsite usingacustom/bespokePDFviewer,whichmaynotsupportembeddedfiles. Pyneaalso requirestheuseofcustommacros, whichmaynotbereadilyavailableinthepublisher’s template, although this will be less of an issue if the publisher manually embeds the enrichedfigurefilesprovidedbytheauthortothefinaltypesetmanuscriptinstead.

Pyneaiscurrentlyinaprototypestage. TheroadmapforPyneaincludestheaddition of a suite of tests in order to verify the functionality of Pynea and cover a range of use cases. Users are encouraged to submit any bug reports via Pynea’s GitHub repository,andcollaborativelysubmitimprovementstothecodebaseviamergerequests.

Furtherimprovementsthatcouldalsobe madetoPyneaincludethesubmissionofdata dependenciesand plotting scripts to online repositories once the final version of the manuscriptis readyto be compiledby the author. Insteadof embeddingthe data and scriptsdirectlyintothecompiledmanuscript’sfigures,therepository’sDOIandversion informationcouldbeincludedinthemetadatainstead.
