Key Directories

data - This contains all the data for the project that is needed to run the code, or is created by the code.

lib - This contains various helper functions for use in the analysis notebooks.

notebooks - This contains the jupyter notebooks for data processing and handling, the main analysis, figure creation, and the assessment of inter-searcher reliability.

Most of the remaining directories are related to Docker-izing the repository.

How to view the notebooks

Notebooks live in the notebooks/ folder (with an ipynb extension). You can most easily view them on nbviewer, though looking at them in Github should also work.

To do development work, you'll need to set up a local jupyter server and git repository - see DEVELOPERS.md for more detail.
