Supporting methods
The research behind Registry: the questions it asks, the models and measurements it uses, how uncertainty is stated and how a result is reviewed and reproduced before it is published.

What registry research cannot yet answer well enough for decisions.
A registry is only useful if what it records can be trusted later. The research questions concern provenance, identity and versioning at the scale of a multi-institution evidence base.
- What is the minimum provenance record that lets a published figure be traced to its source and run? See record provenance.
- How should a correction propagate to every record that cites the corrected version? See correction and versioning.
- How should evidence classes be defined so that they are applied consistently by different teams? See evidence classes.
- Which identifiers and vocabularies make records interoperable with other registries? See registry interoperability.
Every result keeps its label.
Results are labelled as observed, published statistics, estimated, modelled, forecast, scenario or expert judgement. Missing data is shown as missing, never filled silently.

Reports is the Consortium’s quarterly publication. What you know about this subject can become evidence, a case or a correction in the next edition, credited to you and published under CC BY 4.0 where it is your own work.

Never send personal data, sensitive infrastructure detail or anything you have no right to share. A contribution is reviewed before use; sending it confers no authorship or editorial rights, and sponsorship never buys a finding.
Bring a method, a dataset or a question.
Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
