Environment

This section contains pointers what needs to be recorded for other people to be able to understand and reproduce the experiment.

Collect all your code
Make sure your code is easy to read, adhering to the principles of clean code is a good idea
It may take some time for a reader to understand your code. It should not take time to make it run. Provide a central script that reruns your experiment.
Provide any in- and output data from your experiment. If it is large consider uploading it to a service like zenodo.
If your environment is complicated to set up, consider providing a Docker container or a Vagrant virtual machine.
