As an artifact undergoing AE often evolves as a consequence of AEC feedback, authors can use mutable storage for the initial submission, but must commit to uploading their materials to public services (e.g., Zenodo, FigShare, Dryad) for permanent storage backed by a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) if the badge is awarded. The artifact appendix prepared for publication will have to mention the artifact DOI. Authors are welcome to report additional sources, like GitHub and GitLab, that may ease the dissemination of the artifact and possible future updates. Furthermore, for this badge, authors should provide a `README` file referencing the paper and a `LICENSE` file for the materials. * **Functional.** To earn this badge, the AEC must judge that the artifact conforms to the expectations set by the paper for functionality, usability, and relevance.

Papers that pass artifact evaluation will include a 2-page appendix detailing the artifact and have evaluation [badges](badges) on their first page. The AE process recognizes authors who devote effort to make their work reusable and reproducible by others. This includes making artifacts publicly available, documenting and packaging their work in a way that facilitates reuse, and structuring experiments such that they can be repeated and the results reproduced by other researchers.
