Hello everyone, Axios review <https://axiosreview.org/> is considering creating a role for “reproducibility reviewers” within their process, and are looking for your constructive feedback. Tim Vines (cc’ed), managing editor and founder of Axios review, wrote the brief description below. He asked me if I’d forward it to this list, in hopes of receiving your feedback. Thank you!
Andrew PS please “reply-all” so that Tim (not on the list) can see your comments. ------------------------------ Tim’s message - Axios Review (http://axiosreview.org) is thinking about trialling a ‘reproducibility assessment service’ - Authors send in their paper, and someone (likely a skilled senior grad student or postdoc) tries to reproduce the analyses - The paper gets a ‘reproducibility score’ covering the core aspects of reproducibility. E.g. correct files provided, code runs without errors, code recreates results in paper, enables long term preservation and reuse [this will clearly need some development work] - The paper can then continue into regular peer review with Axios or go straight off to a journal. - Like normal Axios, this would be an author-pays service. The fee would be in the $500-600 range, with the ‘Reproducibility Reviewer’ receiving a flat fee around $300. This would cover up to 6 (?) hours of work by the RR. These are ball park figures! Maybe we’d need two RR’s working on different aspects and the fee would be closer to $900?
