Version Control refers to the process of tracking historical changes to your research workflow, and more importantly, specifying which version of your workflow produces which set of results. This is helpful for keeping track of promising directions in the early stages of development, but it also builds trust with the broader academic community when the origin of every published result is clearly outlined.

Tools and Procedures

Git and GitHub
Git and GitHub are the industry standard for version control and collaboration for codebases

Experiment Management (TBW)
Keeping track of parameters and settings for individual experiments.
