Share with others

LIONESS Lab encourages its users to share their experiments once they are ready. Experiments can be shared through the repository or via a link. By sharing your experiments, you can contribute to the number of experimental designs that are available for others to build on.

Sharing your experiments is important for a number of reasons. A large set of usable and customisable designs facilitates the easy development of experiments, and helps avoiding that experimenters are re-inventing the wheel by programming from scratch their own solutions to common issues. Moreover it promotes reproducibility of experimental methods and results.

Note

You can only share your own games via link or repository.

Repository

The Repository allow you to browse the experiments of other LIONESS Lab users and import them to your own account. You can then view the experiment, test it, copy it to your account and customise it as you wish. By making your own experiments public (see below), other users may also import your experiment to their accounts and adjust it to meet their own requirements.
