An analysis methods section is required and should include the following information;

  • Data Prep and Archive
    • Data prep (decompressing, creating LTSAs, decimating, etc.)
    • Data quality checks (QAQC scripts)
    • Data upload steps

      • If you have a internal storage include directions here on where data should be stored and in what format

      • You can also include a data managment structure with standardized naming and storage/folder structures

      • SAEL example

  • Analysis methods for each species, group, or sound source

    • You can break this down by baleen and toothed whales, soundscapes, etc.

    • Each section should include detailed and reproducible methods that anybody can recreate

You can also link to a separate hardware repository if needed (SAEL example)
