Reproducibility

Why it is so important?

Intro

Image you, have been questioned about your code/data and the results that you were able to achieve, but now no one else is able to achieve the same results. What should you do? Repeat the process?

Or make sure that anyone using the same code and the same data will reach exactly the same results?

That is the capacity of reproduce the step by step and reach exactly the same result.

Code Reproducibility

Reproducibility (in coding, of course) is a fundamental principle that plays a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity, transparency, and sustainability of scientific research and software development. The concept revolves around the idea that the results of a computational experiment or analysis can be reliably recreated by others using the same code and data. Here are key points to consider when discussing reproducibility:

1. Transparency and Accountability: Reproducible code allows researchers and developers to share their work transparently. By providing access to the exact code and data used in an experiment or project, individuals can scrutinize and verify the results, fostering a culture of accountability within the coding community.
2. Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing: Reproducible coding…
