 4. Create a .Rmd and convert it to a Jupyter Notebook. Several methods for this exist and none are perfect, but [this open source method](https://github.com/mkearney/rmd2jupyter) currently works.
 5. Run the entire notebook to ensure it is working as expected and save the *rendered* notebook in the folder.
 6. Update the `README.md` in the folder to include links to the rendered notebook (using [nbviewer](https://nbviewer.org/) and [google colab](https://colab.research.google.com/)).
+7. Add the notebooks to the appropriate github workflow to ensure they are included in the continuous integration process.  See the `.github/workflows` folder for existing workflows (one for the R notebooks and one for the python notebooks). Add the new notebook to the end of the list of notebooks in the workflow file.
