experiment-provenance

Experiment provenance records the objectives, hypotheses, exact commands, inputs, and environment assumptions of a run. Tracking provenance provides an auditable evidence trail to support manuscript claims and ensure scientific reproducibility.

Capture reproducible run metadata by logging the experiment intent, running commands deterministically where possible, and attaching output artifacts. You then record validation status, uncertainty notes, and decision points to link provenance to planning artifacts.

Yes, provenance tracking links run details and decision points to support manuscript validation. It connects captured evidence and output artifacts directly to planning logs for full traceability of scientific claims.

Maintain traceability by linking provenance notes to planning artifacts and logs. This connects objectives, exact commands, and environment assumptions to the main planning files for a full auditable trail across experiments.

Experiment provenance tracking does not require specific dependencies or environment setup tools. It functions by recording environment assumptions and exact commands directly to capture evidence and validate reproducibility.

Provenance records should include objectives, hypotheses, exact commands, inputs, environment assumptions, outputs, validation status, and uncertainty notes. Capturing these elements provides the evidence needed to defend manuscript claims during auditing.
