Reproducibility is at the core of solid scientific and technical research. Consistent with its broad mission to advance technology for the benefit of humanity, IEEE is committed to the principles of open science.
IEEE Access is committed to enabling reproducible research through transparency, and the availability and potential reuse of code associated with its published research. IEEE Access is piloting a post-publication peer review of code whereby authors of published IEEE Access articles submit code associated with their article for post-publication peer review. Once peer-reviewed, published articles can earn a reproducibility badge which helps make published code more visible and credible.
IEEE Access offers the following badges:
- Code Available: The code, including any associated data and documentation, provided by the authors is reasonable and complete and can potentially be used to support reproducibility of the published results.
- Code Reviewed: The code, including any associated data and documentation, provided by the authors is reasonable and complete, runs to produce the outputs described, and can support reproducibility of the published results.
If awarded, the reproducibility badge will appear with the article in the IEEE Xplore digital library.
