==Data-conditional reproducibility==
Due to seismic data licensing terms, an author may find it possible to make public everything that is needed to make a publication reproducible, except for the data. In such conditions, the paper is still acceptable for inclusion in the Madagascar collection. To indicate that certain datasets are private, the relevant <tt>SConstruct</tt> files should use <tt>Fetch(...,local=1)</tt> or tt>Fetch(...,server=private.server)</tt>, where <tt>private.server</tt> is a password-protected private server. Affected  vplot figures should be uploaded to the [[Download#Reproducible figures | figure repository]]. Reproducibility testing will be skipped for the affected figures, but the html and pdf versions of the publications will still be created.

The usage of public seismic datasets, such as those at http://software.seg.org/, is strongly encouraged.
