Open Reproducible Research in the Geosciences: Obstacles, Solutions, and Incentives.

Many journals today encourage authors to share code and data used in studies, but only a minority enforces it, and rarely give journals guidance on how these materials should be shared. Since computational reproducibility encompasses and naturally follows sharing of the used materials, the adoption by journals is even less developed. The project “Opening reproducible research (o2r)“ designed and implemented solutions to support the publication of reproducible research considering different stakeholders, such as authors, readers, reviewers, and publishers. On top of that, we identified a couple of incentives for authors to make their research accessible, for example, by easily creating interactive (geo)scientific publications. In my talk, I will give a brief overview of the concepts and solutions developed in o2r. On top of that, I will provide insights into our follow-up project o2r2 including concrete co-operations with publishers
