# Introduction

Results reproducibility is a critical issue in science. It has already been noted that in many cases, reproducing your results even after a few months (the typical time scale of the referee process) may be challenging. In most cases, having the same version of the code is insufficient, but you also need precise knowledge about the input parameters used, and the same input data must be provided. Since the standard methodology in science is based on try-and-fail methodology, typically, the researcher ends up with many datasets. Only a few of them are released for publication, while others serve as experimental runs. Under such conditions, tracking changes introduced to codes in the research process becomes problematic. W-SLDA implements a methodology that does it automatically and allows for the reproduction of the results (up to machine precision). Namely, the generated **results** are always accompanied by the **reproducibility pack**, where complete information needed to reproduce them is included.

# W-SLDA mechanism of results reproducibility
|
|
|
|
Developers of W-SLDA Toolkit recognize the need for intrinsically implemented support that will simplify the process of reproducing the results. To comply with this requirement, the following mechanism has been implemented (called a reproducibility pack):
