Reproducing software environments: a prerequisite for reproducible research
Abstract
As software has become an integral part of scientific workflows, reproducible research practices must take it into account. In what way? Archiving source code is a necessary but insufficient condition. The ability to redeploy software environments, which at first sight may be viewed as a technical detail, is in fact a requirement. This article explores tools and methods to achieve this goal.
