# Linking Code
In the modern practice of astronomy a paper is often linked to a swath of computer code that outputs both the numerical conclusions of the paper (e. g. parameter estimates and errors) and the associated figures. Since reproducibility is a bedrock principle of the scientific method, we believe that easy access to underpinning code is crucial part of future publications.
## Executable Figures
iPython
Notebooks are a nice modern example. These notebooks act as code that can be annotated and executed on the web, allowing an interested reader to study and even modify a copy of the underpinning code, without contacting the authors or initiating a long investigation. [iPython example from Hope's figure (**Hope**: please include figure/code here, via cut &
