<p><span class="x_VIiyi" lang="en"><span class="x_JLqJ4b x_ChMk0b"><span>Dear colleagues</span></span></span>,<br>
<br>
we would like to invite you to participate in a survey entitled "Recording Processing Information in Pulsar Astronomy".<br>
</p>
<p><span><span>PSRFITS</span></span> currently records some provenance information within the history table but it is limited. Our intention is to add to the existing work of the history table in order to accomplish two main objectives:</p>
<p>1) To record a more detailed provenance record within the history table;</p>
<p>2) To visualise the aforementioned provenance in a fashion tailored to pulsar astronomers.</p>
<p>The full description of the survey you can find below.</p>
<p><br>
It takes approx. 5 minutes to complete the survey. To participate, please click on the link below:</p>

</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The survey will be active until 12.11.2021, 21:00 CET. Please forward this email on to your current and former colleagues who have worked with
<span>PSRFITS</span> files. Each and every input from the users is valuable. <br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>

data provenance are reliability and reproducibility, however it can also be utilised for things such as the assessment of data quality or anomaly detection.</strong></span></p>
