 ====== Reproducible Research ======
-Good scientific practice requires research to be reproducible. However, most research involving digital data processing is pretty far away from this goal -- and can therefore not be considered scientific. These pages are about some ideas, concepts and tools allowing responsible scientists to make their research more reproducible and reliable.

+===== Relevance =====
-Properly defining the term "science" is notoriously difficult. Nevertheless, some aspects are most probably common sense:
+[[.:relevance:|Why does reproducible research matter after all?]]

-  * Science is based on results previously achieved by others.
+<WRAP third column>
-  * Results should be independent of the scientist.
+<WRAP box round>
-  * Science aims at gaining knowledge about the world surrounding us.
+[[.:requirements:|{{fa>exclamation-circle?48}}]]
-  * Results should be independently reproducible.
-This immediately reveals scientific research to be a responsible undertaking. Scientists bear responsibility towards those building upon their results. Interpretations may and will change, data should remain unchanged and unquestioned. Therefore, data need to be recorded and documented to the best of our knowledge and belief.
