DESCRIPTION:Prof. Victoria Stodden\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Cham
 paign (U.S.A.)\nAs computation becomes central to scientific research and 
 discovery\, new questions arise regarding the implementation\, disseminati
 on\, and evaluation of computational- and data-enabled methods that underl
 ie scientific claims. Reproducibility in research can be interpreted most 
 narrowly as a simple trace of computational steps that generate scientific
  findings\, and most expansively as an independent re-implementation of an
  experiment testing the same hypothesis. In this talk I present a new fram
 ework for conceptualizing the affordances that support scientific inferenc
 e including computational reproducibility\, transparency\, and generalizab
 ility of findings\, demonstrated by recent two sets of research results on
  reproducibility. The first evaluates Science journal publication standard
 s that require data and code sharing and finds a 26% computational reprodu
 cibility rate\, and the second evaluates reproducibility for articles publ
 ished in the Journal of Computational Physics which encourages data and co
 de sharing. In the second study\, no articles were fully reproducible: 82%
  of articles in our sample had no supporting data and code available\, and
  when such artifacts were available we discovered inadequate documentation
  and missing information such as software input settings and licensing inf
 ormation hampered our reproducibility attempts. Finally\, I will discuss h
 ow the findings from these two studies suggest future research directions 
 on 1) ethics and incentives to engage in new research practices supporting
  computational and data-enabled research and 2) cyberinfrastructure design
  for scientific discovery.
