Regardless of your current background and skill set, we believe that you will find both inspiration and concrete, readily-applicable techniques in this book. It is always important to remember that reproducibility is a matter of degrees, and these examples will demonstrate that while achieving full reproducibility may sometimes be difficult or impossible, much can be gained from efforts to move a research project incrementally in the direction of reproducibility... This book is based on a collection of thirty-one contributed case study chapters, each authored by a leader in data-intensive research. Each case study presents the specific approach that the author used to attempt to achieve reproducibility in a real-world research project, including a discussion of the overall project workflow, key tools and techniques, and major challenges. The authors include both junior and senior scholars, ranging from graduate students to full professors. Many of the authors are affiliated with one..
