Fig. 6: The standardized File System Structure (FSS) and associated pre-defined files.

From: ENCORE: a practical implementation to improve reproducibility and transparency of computational research

Fig. 6

Standardized directory structure of the sFSS containing pre-defined files (gold), which include README files (in Markdown format) that provide a documentation template and instructions. Note that the pre-defined files in the ‘Data’ directories (orange) and the ‘0_SoftwareEnvironment’ subdirectories are only shown once. The names of the directories ‘NameOfDataset_1’ and ‘NameOfComputation_1’ are placeholders and should be replaced with more descriptive names. These directories can be replicated if multiple datasets are used or if different computation procedures are performed. Subdirectories shown in light blue are under version control using Git/GitHub. The ‘0_’ prefix ensures that the corresponding files/directories are always on top of the file list when using lexicographic ordering. The README.md in ‘Processing’ is the default GitHub repository README file and therefore does not have the ‘0_’ prefix.
