Tasks and Timeline

  1. 2/20 - Make data accessible: Publish input, intermediate, and final data in a public shared repository (e.g., FigShare), and cite it in the article.
  2. 3/6 - Ensure software is usable: Gather all the software used in the article, including data preparation codes, pre-processing software, visualization software, and any scripts used. Check that all software runs with input data and generates the results as expected.
