Code, data, and reproducibility

Selected publications have associated public repositories containing intentionally released notebooks, figures, code, workflow descriptions, or reproducibility notes:

Public repository availability does not imply that every compiled source dataset or publisher-controlled article is redistributable. Each repository documents its own data-access, copyright, and release boundary.

Citation authority

Publication metadata and status may change as papers move through online-first publication, issue assignment, revision, or indexing. Publisher records and Google Scholar are the preferred authorities for the latest citation state. The [Projects page](/projects/) should be used for code/repository context rather than as a publication-status authority.
