Share the result.Make its basis checkable.
Give collaborators a fixed research result with its methods, assumptions and checking instructions. Choose access and disclosure, and keep issued checks separate from the result’s current status.
The recipient gets more than a number.
| What they need | What the share identifies |
|---|---|
| Which result is this? | One fixed Record and its research version. |
| Why is it supported? | The disclosed inputs, assumptions, method, results and covered checks. |
| Can I repeat the checks? | Browser inspection and independent re-verification instructions; full checks require the referenced inputs. |
| Is it still current? | A separate authenticated status check, or an explicit unknown status. |
Fix the evidence. Control access.
| Decision | Your options |
|---|---|
| Recipient | Named authenticated recipients, or a time-limited account-free link you create. |
| Disclosure | Choose how much of the Record the share reveals. |
| Access period | Expiry and revocation control future access without rewriting the Record. |
Records are not placed in a public directory and links are not emailed automatically.
Choose access. Let the recipient inspect.
- 01
Lock the result.
SciGround issues a Record for a specific research version.
- 02
Choose recipients and scope.
Named, authenticated access with expiry—or a time-limited link you choose to create.
- 03
See what was checked.
Recipients see the claim, evidence, assumptions, and current status.
- 04
Check it independently.
The same outcome in the browser or with the independent command-line tool.
Sharing and independent checking.
One link, one fixed result.
Every shared link points to a specific Record: one research version with its inputs, method, checks, and supported claim. What a Record contains is described on the Record page.
Share with control.
Share with named recipients through an authenticated link, each with their own expiry and revocation. When you choose, create a time-limited link that opens without an account.
Choose what recipients see.
Decide how much of the Record each share discloses, so unpublished data stay as private as you need.
Recipients verify it themselves.
Recipients can view the Record in a browser or re-verify it with an independent command-line tool in a clean environment. Both give the same outcome for the recorded scope.
Past and present, kept apart.
A Record shows whether its checks held when it was issued and, separately, whether it is current, superseded, withdrawn, or cannot be confirmed right now. A modified, incomplete, or unknown-version Record is reported as such.
From recipient to researcher.
A collaborator who receives a Record can start their own SciGround work from it, under their own access and permissions.
Evidence that can leave the original chat
- The fixed result and the claim it supports
- Inputs, assumptions, method, and software versions, as far as you disclose them
- Whether the checks held when issued, and whether the Record is current
- Instructions for independent re-verification
