Stodden's work focuses on facilitating the reproducibility of research, specifically in computational sciences.
[5] Her current focus lies in scientific research incentives, having said: "A big part of the work I am doing concerns the scientific reward structure.
For example, my work on the Reproducible Research Standard is an effort to realign the intellectual property rules scientists are subject to, to be closer to our scientific norms.

She also serves on the Committee on Electronic Information and Communication of the International Mathematical Union and the Advisory Board for Project TIER (Teaching Integrity in Empirical Research).
