Prerequisite for reproducible science: a call to embrace code sharing - The Lancet Regional Health - Southeast Asia

"Reproducibility is a cornerstone of science.13 We offer three suggestions to make it a reality. First, the journal needs to articulate policies on research reproducibility while engaging with the authors and readers to incorporate their views.14 Second, create meaningful incentives for researchers to share their code and data, for example, by inviting reproducibility studies.15,16 Third, make code sharing a mandatory requirement for publishing articles using publicly available data. Transitioning from an ideal to a tangible reality where reproducible research is the norm is a necessity because only open science is good science."
