Reproducibility is incredibly important in academia, as it helps to verify the information that&#8217;s being published and avoid the spread of misinformation. It also helps to facilitate collaboration between scholars and allows others to develop an in-depth understanding of your work.<\/p>\n<p>The different dimensions of reproducible research described in the matrix above have the following definitions, as described by The Turing Way:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"simple\">\n<li><strong>Reproducible:<\/strong>\u00a0A result is reproducible when the\u00a0<em>same<\/em>\u00a0analysis steps performed on the\u00a0<em>same<\/em>\u00a0dataset consistently produces the\u00a0<em>same<\/em>\u00a0answer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replicable:<\/strong>\u00a0A result is replicable when the\u00a0<em>same<\/em>\u00a0analysis performed on\u00a0<em>different<\/em>\u00a0datasets produces qualitatively similar answers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Robust:<\/strong>\u00a0A result is robust when the\u00a0<em>same<\/em>\u00a0dataset is subjected to\u00a0<em>different<\/em>\u00a0analysis workflows to answer the same research question (for example one pipeline written in R and another written in Python) and a qualitatively similar or identical answer is produced. Robust results show that the work is not dependent on the specificities of the programming language chosen to perform the analysis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Generalisable:<\/strong>\u00a0Combining replicable and robust findings allow us to form generalisable results. Note that running an analysis on a different software implementation and with a different dataset does not provide\u00a0<em>generalised<\/em>\u00a0results. There will be many more steps to know how well the work applies to all the different aspects of the research question. Generalisation is an important step towards understanding that the result is not dependent on a particular dataset nor a particular version of the analysis pipeline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/scholarlycommunications\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1718\/2024\/10\/Untitled-design.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4762 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/scholarlycommunications\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1718\/2024\/10\/Untitled-design-900x695.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"695\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"caption-number\">Fig. 10\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"caption-text\"><em>The Turing Way<\/em>\u00a0project illustration by Scriberia.<br \/>\nUsed under a CC-BY 4.0 licence.
