VerseVAD documentation is maintained alongside the source code in the project’s GitHub repository.
The documentation covers installation, first-use guidance, analysis methods, external datasets, interpretation, troubleshooting, citation, and known limitations. Because VerseVAD is under active development, keeping the documentation with the software helps ensure that updates remain connected to the relevant release.
