Question: What goes into making research reproducible?

Answer


The process of making research reproducible is 90% practising data management, 10% documenting and/or making available the computational dependencies required to work with your research materials.

To understand what goes into data management practices, see “What is research data management?

Computational dependencies: Most research projects use external software dependencies to save time and effort. However, the second you introduce third-party code, you invite a bevy of complications, especially when someone else tries to rerun your work. Here are a few tips for using, managing, and capturing dependencies to enhance reproducibility of your research: https://guides.nyu.edu/software-reproducibility/dependencies.
