02

Why it matters to our work

An especially relevant institutional interface for machine-readable experiment receipts, code/data provenance, reproducibility and long-term public release of research artifacts.

03

Independent critical assessment

4TU offers a plausible dissemination and preservation path; this does not mean our current artifacts satisfy its submission policies, nor that a collaboration exists. Start with account participation and repository-policy assessment.

04

Next verifiable actions

  • Join the community using an accurately labelled independent-researcher profile
  • Evaluate metadata, datasets, software deposit and preservation requirements
  • Prepare one small reproducible experiment with documentation and provenance
