Reproducibility

A result should come with a path back to the evidence.

Depending on the project, releases may include:

  • Raw retrievals or retrieval instructions
  • Processed data
  • Source provenance
  • Content hashes where appropriate
  • Analytical code
  • Configuration files
  • Dependency information
  • Random seeds
  • Saved outputs
  • Figures
  • Tables
  • Claim verification
  • Replication instructions
  • Known limitations
  • Version history
  • Corrections

Not every project includes every item. The list above describes what a serious Cumulant release aims to include.
