1) The document presents a methodology to convert script-based experiments into reproducible workflow research objects (WROs). This addresses issues of understanding, reusing, and reproducing experiments conducted through scripts. 2) The methodology involves 5 steps: generate an abstract workflow, create an executable workflow, refine the workflow, record provenance data, and annotate and check the quality of the conversion. 3) Applying the methodology to a molecular dynamics simulation case study, the authors demonstrate how scripts can be transformed into WROs containing workflows, annotations, provenance data, and other resources needed for reproducibility.
