Helloquence on Unsplash The reproducibility of research results is one of the fundamental quality criteria in science. The demand for transparency of the scientific knowledge process aims to ensure the repeatability of scientific studies or experiments. The project "Opening Reproducible Research" (o2r) of the Institute for Geoinformatics of the University of Münster and the University and State Library of Münster deals with this topic. In February, the project team organized a workshop on the reproducibility of analysis based on software and data. At the workshop, the participants spoke about the challenges of reproducibility through digital research as well as the current state of the art and existing infrastructures. In four guest comments, scientists describe how the topic of reproducibility of research results is handled in their field.
