Simulation experiments have increased their influence on social science, creating a need for documentation tools and practices that facilitate replicability. Two crucial components common to many simulation experiments require particularly detailed documentation: the baseline parameterization, and the experimental designs. This paper explores the adaptability to these needs of a recent but already popular file format. It demonstrates how to produce easily human-readable documentation of baseline parameterizations that also supports automated, programming-language agnostic information exchange. This format is additionally useful for documenting certain experimental designs.

记录和交换仿真规范：与语言无关的方法

模拟实验增加了它们对社会科学的影响，创造了对促进可复制性的文档工具和实践的需求。许多模拟实验共有的两个关键组成部分需要特别详细的文档：基线参数化和实验设计。本文探讨了最近但已经流行的文件格式对这些需求的适应性。它演示了如何生成易于人类阅读的基线参数化文档，该文档还支持自动化、与编程语言无关的信息交换。这种格式对于记录某些实验设计也很有用。
