Reproducible research can be easily recreated
by people other than the author. Whenever possible, the authors
of SEP papers make their figures either easily reproducible (ER)
or conditionally reproducible (CR). An easily reproducible figure
can be deleted and quickly rebuilt by anyone interested in the
result. To recreate the figure, the author provides the necessary
input data, makerules, parameter files, and source code. A
conditionally reproducible figure can be reproduced, but it may
require input data that is not provided because of size or proprietary
issues, special system requirements such as parallel processing or
special software, or it may take more than 20 minutes to rebuild. Both
ER and CR figures assume that the environment they are being recreated in
has X-windows, SEPlib, SEP makerules, and Fortran77, Fortran90 and
C compilers. If a figure can't be reproduced, such as a hand-drawn
picture, it is marked NR for non-reproducible.
