The CERN Analysis Preservation and reuse framework18,19 consists of a set of services and tools, sketched in Fig. 1, that assist researchers in describing and preserving all the components of a physics analysis such as data, software and computing environment—addressing the points discussed earlier. These, along with the associated documentation, are kept in one place so that the analysis, or parts of it, can be reused even several years after the publication of the original scientific results.
