(4) Does not require root privileges to run (during development or post-publication). -(5) Builds its own controlled software for an independent environment. +(5) Builds its own controlled software \new{with independent environment variables}. (6) Can run locally (without an internet connection). (7) Contains the full project's analysis, visualization \emph{and} narrative: including instructions to automatically access/download raw inputs, build necessary software, do the analysis, produce final data products \emph{and} final published report with figures \emph{as output}, e.g., PDF or HTML. -(8) It can run automatically, with no human interaction. +(8) It can run automatically, \new{without} human interaction. \textbf{Criterion 2: Modularity.} A modular project enables and encourages the analysis to be broken into independent modules with well-defined inputs/outputs and minimal side effects. |
