Reproducibility and open science are starting to matter in tenure and promotion

"Advocates for improving open science and reproducibility accurately worry that the movement will fail if standards for hiring, tenure, and promotion do not change.  If the likelihood of tenure and promotion is dependent exclusively on publication volume, prestige and success obtaining grants, incentives for openness will have--at best--an indirect effect on researcher’s behavior through journals and funders.  Successful nudging of the culture of incentives requires that institutions likewise reward scholars for conducting open, rigorous, reproducible research."
