JWRP&M Reproducibility Program

New reproducibility guidance documents for JWRP&M

Posted by Jim Stagge on January 05, 2025

Throughout this year, the Associate Editors for Reproducibility at the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management (JRWP&M) have been working hard to document the successes of the Reproducibility Review Program and outline a more streamlined process for authors and reviewers. This effort has produced two new documents:

Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management’s Reproducibility Review Program: Accomplishments, Lessons, and Next Steps

and

Update to the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management’s Reproducible Results Policy

Reproducibility Review Program

The goal of the JWRPM Reproducibility Review Program is to promote a cultural shift toward making research more accessible and reproducible, thereby accelerating science and increasing impact.

The program has five objectives:

  1. Encourage authors to make their results more reproducible.
  2. Allow scientists and practitioners to more easily find and use reproducible work.
  3. Encourage further sharing and interaction between authors and readers.
  4. Recognize and reward authors who make their work more reproducible.
  5. Increase the impact of work published in the journal.
