The answer lies with the papers that we are publishing today, and that we will continue to review for acceptance into this thematic series
Summary
The past year has been an interesting one for those interested in reproducible research. When we launched the call for papers for Open Research Computation in late 2010 we saw a clear need for higher standards. It is possible to provide data and code in the form of a functional virtual machine image along with automated tests to ensure everything is working as expected. With code, journal statements requiring that it be available often lack substance – how is it to be made available – and policies generally lack teeth.
