Minor edits suggested by David and updating of Zenodo DOI
David made suggested some minor edits that are now implemented (most importantly that he would not like to be associated with an ORCID ID). I also "saved" a new Zenodo DOI for the final submission of this paper to Zenodo, but "after" obtaining the page number information and other minor things.

Source code is often written by humans, for machines to execute \emph{and also} humans to read/modify; they are often composed of many files and thousands of lines of (modular) code, often the fine details of the history of the changes in those lines are also preserved though version control as mentioned in Appendix \ref{appendix:versioncontrol}.
For example, the source-code files for a research paper can also be archived on a preprint server such as arXiv\footnote{\inlinecode{\url{https://arXiv.org}}}, which pioneered the archiving of research pre-prints.
-ArXiv only requires the {\LaTeX} source of a paper (and its plots) to build the paper internally and provide users with Postscript or PDF outputs: having access to the {\LaTeX} source, allows it to extract metadata like bibliography for example.
+ArXiv uses the {\LaTeX} source of a paper (and its plots) to build the paper internally and provide users with Postscript or PDF outputs: having access to the {\LaTeX} source, allows it to extract metadata or contextual information among other benefits\footnote{\inlinecode{\url{https://arxiv.org/help/faq/whytex}}}.
However, along with the {\LaTeX} source, authors can also submit any type of plain-text file, including Shell or Python scripts for example (as long as the total volume of the upload doesn't exceed a certain limit, currently 50MB).
This feature of arXiv is heavily used by Maneage'd papers.
-For example this paper is available at \href{https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.03018}{arXiv:2006.03018}; by clicking on ``Other formats'', and then ``Download source'', the full source file that we uploaded is available to any interested reader (it includes a full snapshot of Maneage at the point the paper was built, including all software and narrative source code).

Infact the \inlinecode{./project make dist} command in Maneage will automatically create the arXiv-ready tarball for authors to upload easily.
ArXiv provides long-term stable URIs, giving unique identifiers for each publication\footnote{\inlinecode{\url{https://arxiv.org/help/arxiv_identifier}}} and is mirrored on many severs across the globe.
