I recently had a question from a researcher on this and it appears that there is not really information about this in other resources (or not obviously :)).
Using a workflow manager package (like signac) to consistently match run inputs to outputs - @srtee
Use workflow management systems, like AiiDA or pyiron - Peter Kraus
Good directory management to separate input scripts, "raw" simulation outputs, and post-processing analysis, so that the scripts and analysis can be version-controlled with git. (Large raw files can be excluded with gitignore to save time.) @srtee
You could check out datalad but may not be worthwhile @srtee
Most importantly, communicate the simulation settings accurately during publication so that other groups can reliably compare their own future simulations. @srtee
one can share the simulation code & parameters to regenerate the simulated data. Share data/code via Zenodo @gedankenstuecke
Set a seed, document parameters/commands, save output data and intermediate data as far as reasonable considering storage/computation efforts. Also document all the parameterizations you discarded, and why, so that others don't make the same mistakes. From: https://scholar.social/@nuest@mstdn.social/112438157242036468
Ideally, you also have a sample configuration that runs in a short time with a sample dataset/sample result/output data so that others can compare and play around. Daniel Nüst
