ReScience C

ReScience C is a journal created in 2015 by Nicolas Rougier and Konrad Hinsen with the aim of publishing researchers' attempts to replicate computations made by other authors, using independently written, free and open-source software (FOSS), with an open process of peer review.

[5] The scope of ReScience C is mainly focussed on researchers' attempts to replicate computations made by other authors, using independently written, free and open-source software (FOSS).

[1] Articles are submitted using the "issues" feature of a git repository run by GitHub, together with other online archiving services, including Zenodo and Software Heritage.

[2] In 2020, Nature reported on the results of ReScience C's "Ten Years' Reproducibility Challenge", in which scientists were asked to try reproducing the results from peer-reviewed articles that they had published at least ten years earlier, using the same data and software if possible, updated to a modern software environment and free licensing.

[1] As of 24 August 2020[update], out of 35 researchers who had proposed to reproduce the results of 43 of their old articles, 28 reports had been written, 13 had been accepted after peer review and published, among which 11 documented successful reproductions.
