Coding Principles

We want to aim for code that is:

1. Understandable

• Projects should be structured with clear logical separation of parameters, assumptions, data and code, with appropriate documentation.
• As far as possible, code should follow the style guidance outlined.

2. Accurate

• Projects should include testing.
• All code should be reviewed.

3. Collaborative

• Projects should follow the Github workflow.
• Knowledge should be shared.

4. Reproducible

• Project dependencies should be managed.
• The format of the output should be chosen with reproducibility in mind.
• Projects should be optimized for change.
