Reproducible Research in Computational Science

摘要

Computational science has led to exciting new developments, but the nature of the work has exposed limitations in our ability to evaluate published findings. Reproducibility has the potential to serve as a minimum standard for judging scientific claims when full independent replication of a study is not possible. The rise of computational science has led to exciting and fast-moving developments in many scientific areas. New technologies, increased computing power, and methodological advances have dramatically improved our ability to collect complex high-dimensional data (1,1).
