Achieving reproducibility in scientific research is a laudable goal, however this has been difficult to achieve. While data and data analysis play a central role in many scientific domains, most papers specify their methods and data only informally and omit important supplemental material. High quality journals have responded to this issue by making reproducibility a requirement for publication. Understanding the challenges to reproducibility and combating them with tools and best practices is therefore of cross-disciplinary relevance.
