Details on how to do this task: Make data accessible
Selected input and output data files corresponding to the first RAPID peer-reviewed article are already available online on the RAPID website.
However, not all the files needed to reproduce the experiments of the first publication are currently available.
Several tasks therefore need be performed here:
- Narrow down a list of all necessary files to reproduce the results published. Completed.
- Make sure all experiments can be reproduced. One unforeseen issue is that one of the experiments was only performed in the first RAPID publication and never used since then. The experiment is still hard-coded in the source and is not currently an option in the most recent version of RAPID that has included a "namelist" since April 2011. Some code modifications would be necessary to check that the experiment can indeed be reproduced. Pending.
- Select a repository. This was a challenge. Nine of the files in the article are larger than 250 MB which ruled FigShare out. I also looked into Dryad which is an option because the data corresponds to a peer-reviewed paper. But Dryad has data publication fees which become large when repositories get larger than 10 GB which will happen for the other RAPID datasets that I plan to share. Finally I looked at Zenodo which allows for free publication and accepts large files (up to 2 GB). This is sufficient for the dataset used here. I also contacted Zenodo to ask to waive the 2 GB limit for some of my future uploads and received an encouraging answer. So Zenodo was selected here. Completed.
- Select a license. Going with CC BY to share as widely as possible while retaining authorship and benefiting from potential citations. Completed.
- Check that co-authors agree on data sharing. An email was sent. Pending.
- Write description for files. This turned out to be much more of a lengthy process than I had expected. Still working on it. Pending.
- Share files. The Zenodo repository was started and all files uploaded. I am waiting for co-author agreement before submitting. Pending.
