Assessing Reproducibility (In The Practice of Reproducible Research Case Studies and Lessons from the Data-Intensive Sciences Justin Kitzes, Daniel Turek, Fatma Deniz (Eds.))

While understanding the full complement of factors that contribute to reproducibility is important, it can also be hard to break down these factors into steps that can immediately be adopted into an existing research program and immediately improve its reproducibility. One of the first steps to take is to assess the current state of affairs, and to track improvement as steps are taken to increase reproducibility even more. This chapter provides a few key points for this assessment.
