CERN Analysis Preservation is a data preservation service developed and run at CERN to provide a centralized platform for physicists to capture and preserve the knowledge behind their physics analyses so that it is understandable and reusable in the future. It is currently targeting analysis information produced by the LHC experiments.

CAP is designed to support physicists during their research, so we make sure to apply access control to all information added to the platform. Users retain full control of their information and data.

If you find a bug or have a (feature) request, go ahead and add an issue for it or comment on an existing issue in case this has already been addressed!

If you want to contribute directly to the project (e.g. code, JSON workflow files, documentation), you are welcome to create a pull request for your changes. If you want to know how to write good commit messages that will help us (now) and you (in a few weeks) to understand what you did, you may want to check out this.
