While sharing trajectories and full simulation files is a standard we should be working towards, at minimum, researchers with simulation data should provide it in more manageable, easy-to-share files. Such files include initial simulation structures, software-specific input files, and essential representative structures (e.g., from clustering) for improved data sharing and transparency. This feature is particularly crucial for maintaining data interoperability and ensuring that future research can easily integrate and build on these simulations. Preserving MD simulation data over time is vital for ensuring long-term usability and reproducibility. The National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation require that raw data (e.g., trajectory files, initial coordinates, topologies, and input files) be preserved for at least three years, which we suggest as a "best practice". This requirement is especially important since these files are crucial for reanalysis and reproducing original conditions. After this period, cleaned and concatenated trajectory files should be archived for longer periods, as they take up less space and retain essential information about the simulation. For long-term storage, using compressed file formats helps maintain data integrity while optimizing space.
