Research Object

A Research Object is a comprehensive, organized package that includes all the key elements needed to understand, reproduce, and build upon a scientific study. This typically involves the data collected, methods used, analysis scripts, relevant documentation, and sometimes related publications. Think of it as a digital research "bundle" that ensures the study's information is preserved and accessible in one place. Using Research Objects helps improve transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration in scientific research by making it easier for others to verify and reuse the work.
