Badge of Reproducibility

This post originally appeared on the Software Carpentry website.

Coming back to the badge meme from earlier this week, John Cook's new Reproducible Research blog pointed me at this page on the EPFL site advertising a paper called "What, Why and How of Reproducible Research in Signal Processing". Notice the "Reproducible Research" badge? The "add your evaluation" link takes you to a formlet that lets you choose between:

1. I have tested this code and it works
2. I have tested this code and it does not work (on my computer)
3. I have tested this code and was able to reproduce the results from the paper
4. I have tested this code and was unable to reproduce the results from the paper

It's a good start...
