Bureau scientist Sergey Fomel has recently served as Guest Editor of Computing in Science and Engineering for a special issue on “Reproducible Research.” In the editorial Sergey says that “Reproducibility is a core principle of science. For computational experiments to become reproducible, one needs to develop a system for linking scientific publications with computational recipes.” The full editorial and an image of the journal cover are available at here. |
