Reflection Reproducibility in your discipline

Reflect on the extent to which these terms (reproduction, replication, robustness, generalisation) are widespread in your own discipline or area of research. Which is more predominant in your discipline? And in your research? Of the journals you publish or flag-ship journals in your discipline, do they request articles that support computational reproducibility, empirical reproducibility, or statistical reproducibility? (hint: check The Turing Way’s definitions page (The Turing Way Community 2022).

If you’re still hesitant to embrace reproducibility, next talk by Dr. Florian Markowetz, based on his paper (Markowetz 2015), will convince you!
