How to read the Tamesis program

A guide to distinguishing hypotheses, calculations, computational evidence and validated claims in the research archive.

The archive is a program, not a single conclusion

Tamesis contains research lines at different levels of maturity. A document may contain a useful definition, a computational experiment, a conjecture or a guiding hypothesis without authorizing readers to treat it as a confirmed discovery. Reading the archive requires preserving those differences.

Use epistemic status as the legend

Each relevant claim should be read with its status: established by reference, reproduced, derived, simulated, conjectured, speculative or open to refutation. The status tells readers what the material supports and which evidence is still missing.

Cite the version you actually read

The archive changes. A responsible reference includes author, material title, repository, version or commit, access date and licence. A version DOI should be added when canonical releases are deposited in a preservation repository.
