Aug 14, 2013 at 11:19 comment added Alexei Boulbitch @F'x You have probably already tried to do as you planned. Could you please give a feedback. Did it work smoothly? Did the journal accept this form of the Supplementing Materials? Where could we have a look at it? Have you some further advises for those who choose to follow this way?
Nov 8, 2012 at 20:17 comment added Szabolcs You might want to remove the cell editing history (Cell -> Notebook history...) and the file outline cache (search in Options Inspector). These will reduce the file size significantly. The rest of the information in the NB is usually clearly visible in the front end (unless you put there something hidden manually, e.g. cell tags)
Nov 8, 2012 at 20:14 comment added Szabolcs The notebook is useful only to those who can run the code inside. From PDF it's difficult to paste back to Mathematica. I'd say this rules out PDF. The difference between CDF and NB is that CDF can be opened using a free player, but only certain dynamical interfaces will work in this viewer (for cell by cell evaluations people still need Mathematica). So I'd say NB should be fine most of the time, but the CDF is a little better because there's a free viewer (if not a free runner) for it.

Nov 2, 2012 at 15:59 comment added J. M.'s missing motivation @Mark, some of the stuff John brought up here came to mind...
Nov 2, 2012 at 15:55 comment added Mark McClure @J.M. A CDF file can be opened in Mathematica and, in my experience, works just like a notebook in that context. What's the advantage of publishing both? I think I'd go with CDF so that anyone can read it.

Nov 2, 2012 at 15:38 comment added F'x @J.M. I don't want to overload the supporting information with what would be duplicate information… I have meanwhile had the idea for another possibility (PDF), and thus edited the question.
Nov 2, 2012 at 15:30 comment added J. M.'s missing motivation To be safe, why not provide both the CDF file and the notebook?
