Practical Considerations When Archiving Reproducibility Packages

With reproducibility of results becoming well-established as a gold standard for publication by researchers, and increasing requirements from journals and research funders to share data and code, the necessity of education in the archiving of reproducibility materials and its difference from archiving data alone is growing within the field of data librarianship. Ten years after establishing the Cornell Center for Social Sciences's (formerly CISER) Results Reproduction Service, we share lessons learned in verifying, certifying, and archiving reproducibility packages. We will discuss typical consultation questions, things to watch out for, and staffing and technological infrastructure requirements.
