Reproducible Research Tools

Monday, May 18th, 2009

We think it would be appropriate to develop a list of existing tools, software and methods that can be used to create or enhance a Reproducible Research Compendium.
Here is what we came up with:

  • Sweave -Create dynamic reports (based on LaTeX and R)
  • SCons- A part of the Madagascar software package, based on SCons, for managing data processing flows and reproducible computational experiments
  • StatDocs-Create interactive statistical documents
  • DynDoc-A set of functions to create and interact with dynamic documents and vignettes in R
  • MATLAB Report Generator- Automatically generate reports from MATLAB in a wide variety of formats
  • Cacher and CacheSweave-R packages for caching statistical analyses and Sweave computations
  • Python Tools for RR-Python tools for reproducible research on hyperbolic problems
  • Emacs Speaks Statistics-Supports editing of scripts and interaction with various statistical analysis programs such S-Plus, R, SAS and Stata

If you are aware of other tools with a focus on reproducibility, simply write a comment on this post to share it with everyone.

[Updates]

  • AMRITA-A system for communicating software-based ideas and information. It operates as a cross between a document preparation system, a computational engine, and a programming language (does not run under Windows)

Reproducible Research Librumbeta is going live!

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Reproducible Research Librum is an open directory for reproducible research where you can find many reproducible research compendia and simply add yours.

Reproducible Research Librum is an in-depth approach to provide a comprehensive list of reproducible research websites and compendia.

In brief, Librum aims to increase the visibility of reproducible research compendia over Internet and to facilitate the search and find process for end-users.

How to Best Share Your Reproducible Research Compendium

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

[…] Reproducibility means publication over the internet. Now that you have created your research compendium, you can share it with other researchers in many different ways. For example, you can simply put it on your personal or institutional website. However, if your institution supports an OAI-compliant repository, it is much more advantageous to put your compendium on such a repository.

How to Best Share?

  • Self-Archiving— Providing Open Access to the Research Paper
  • Open Licensing— Providing Open Access to the Code and Data

How to Build and Enhance Your Reproducible Research Compendium

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

To create a reproducible research compendium, you should provide all components of the research that are necessary for others to understand and reproduce the research.

The components of a Reproducible Research Compendium are listed below:

1. The Research Paper
2. The Data
3. The Computational Environment
4. Results
5. Complementary Material

[…] Many different methods are proposed by researchers to enhance a reproducible research compendium and to make it easier for others to adapt and extend the reported research. In this spirit, Literate Programming techniques can be greatly used in the enhancement of a reproducible research compendium […]
