Paths and countermeasures for improving reproducibility of scientific research methods
[Purposes]This study aims to analyze the paths of improving the reproducibility of scientific research methods and provide a reference for the construction of open sharing and reproducibility improvement of scientific research methods in China.[Methods]We mainly used literature research,case analysis,comparative analysis,and expert consultation to conduct case studies on the paths of improving reproducibility.[Findings]The reproducibility of research methods can be improved in terms of shared content,structured and normalized features,review procedures,detection and evaluation,research resource certification,participation,extendibility,etc.[Conclusions]It is recommended that Chinese scientific journals establish column special issues on research methods or establish methodological journals to share all the details of research methods and promote the structuring and normalization of shared content of research methods.It is recommended that scientific journals should strengthen their cooperation with third-party platforms,conduct standard procedural reviews of research methods,enhance automatic detection and evaluation of metadata,and conduct research resource certification.At the same time,scientific journals should also enhance the participation and extendibility of research methods to promote the sharing and collaboration of research methods and improve the reproducibility of scientific research methods.In addition,it is suggested that China should actively prepare reproducibility research institutions,initiate corresponding scientific research projects,gradually improve relevant policies and evaluation mechanisms,and encourage more journals and knowledge platforms to actively participate in the development of reproducibility construction.
