Purpose
Computational reproducibility, or the ability to reproduce research using the available data, code, and materials, makes it possible to assess the validity of, and build on existing research. The Social Science Reproduction Platform (SSRP) is an open source platform that crowdsources and catalogs attempts to assess and improve the computational reproducibility of published social science research.
SSRP was developed by the Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences (BITSS) in collaboration with the American Economic Association Data Editor. A full list of contributors can be found here.
How it works
Assess & Improve
Reproducers can assess and improve the computational reproducibility of published scientific claims through a four-stage process based on the Guide for Accelerating Computational Reproducibility in the Social Sciences.
Review & Collaborate
In a forthcoming Forum, reproducers will be able to review, comment on, and collaborate on reproduction attempts submitted by others.
Measure
A forthcoming Metrics Dashboard will aggregate results from reproductions to produce metrics of computational reproducibility across papers, journals, sub-disciplines, and timespans.
