(A) Publish your code as is, so the code is the actual code used in the paper. > But on the other hand it's substantially more work to clean and organize the code for publishing (B) Don't spend time cleaning code for publishing. Spend your time writing more papers. > it will increase the surface for nitpicking and criticism (e.g. coding style, etc). (C) Don't worry about this. > Besides, many scientists look at code as a competitive advantage so in this case publishing the code will be removing the competitive advantage. (D) If you do B, if will also reduce your worries about this. I am half joking.
