Results reproducibility

Results reproducibility is a critical issue in science. It has been already noted that in many cases, reproducing your own results even after a few months (typical time scale of referee process) may be challenging. In most cases, it is not sufficient to have the same version of the code, but you also need precise knowledge about the input parameters used and the same input data must be provided. Since the standard methodology in science is based on try and fail methodology, typically, the researcher ends up with many datasets. Only a few of them are released to publication finally, while others serve as experimental runs. Under such conditions tracking of changes introduced to codes in the research process becomes problematic. W-SLDA implements a methodology that does it automatically and allows for the reproduction of the results (up to machine precision). Namely, the generated results are always accompanied by the reproducibility pack, where complete information needed to reproduce them is included.
