Making your code reusable is an essential step in promoting transparency, reproducibility, and recognition. There are several things you can do to make your code citable and ensure others can use it. First, you can make your code publicly available in a repository such as GitHub that will put your code under version control. Second, you can choose an open source license as without a license, others can not legally reuse or modify your code, even if it's publicly visible. Third, you can include a citation file. Fourth, you can document your project clearly by including a README file that explains what the code does, how to install/run it, dependencies, input/output formats and a requirements.txt file that lists dependencies.
