via Tweetbot for Mac

Stodden: Verification and validation are the foundations of reproducibility. Comp Sci today doesn’t generate reliable knowledge.

via Tweetbot for Mac

Stodden: All other benefits (reusability etc) are a corollary to sharing that perfect scientific record.

Stodden: Article about sci is not scholarship itself but merely the advertisement. ship is full suite of code, data, & figs. cite Claerbout
