ABSTRACT:

Video #3 in the Research Reproducibility series for the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management (JWRPM). This video is titled "What are the Benefits of Submitting my Reproducible Research to JWRPM?" and describes the various benefits for authors who choose to publish their manuscript with JWRPM through the Reproducibility Review program.

ABSTRACT:

Video #2 in the Research Reproducibility series for the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management (JWRPM). This video is titled "How to Submit my Reproducible Research?" and describes the process by which authors can opt in to JWRPM's Reproducibility Review program and how they can prepare their manuscript to be successful in this reproducibility review.

ABSTRACT:

Video #1 in the Research Reproducibility series for the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management (JWRPM). This video is titled "Why Make My Research Reproducible?" and describes the general concept of research reproducibility, including the reasons why one would choose to make their research reproducible.

ABSTRACT:

This collection shares pre-prints of videos with tips, how-to, lessons, and other content to help researchers make their results more reproducible. Authors create a new Hydroshare resource that includes meta data and the video file. Authors request the Collection Owners add their resource to this collection. Then authors submit a short brief in the Editorial Manager system of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management (https://ascelibrary.org/journal/jwrmd5) for publication. The brief includes a one-sentence citation to the Hydroshare resource containing the video content. The video undergoes a peer-review process. On acceptance, ASCE Publishing will attach branding to the video. The content will receive a digital object identifier (DOI) and be published in the Journal -- same as regular articles, case studies, etc. ASCE will also push videos out on their video and social media feeds.

The intent of collection of videos and the review process is to make peer-reviewed videos findable, accessible, interoperable, and repeatable (FAIR). This process also provides authors of reproducibility content an incentive to create and share new videos and content -- a peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management.

ABSTRACT:

This collection includes the abstract and slides from the talk titled "Making Research in Water Resources More Reproducible: ASCE's Reproducibility Review Program", presented by Jim Stagge at the 2023 Universities Council on Water Resources (UCOWR)/National Institutes for Water Resources (NIWR) Annual Water Resources Conference on June 15, 2023.

Abstract
There is strong agreement across scientific fields that replicable workflows are needed for computational modeling and that publishing digital research artifacts (workflow, code, data, output) alongside manuscripts increases the number of people who can access, learn by doing, and ultimately expand upon published research. This talk will highlight efforts by ASCE and the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management (JWRPM) to implement a new reproducibility peer review system that operates in parallel with typical content reviews for submitted manuscripts. Authors opt in to the voluntary program during submission and share all research materials in a public repository. Reproducibility reviewers then use these materials to independently reproduce all figures, tables, and results, potentially making recommendations to improve the replicability/reproducibility of the submission. The program is voluntary, but offers several incentives in addition to the aforementioned benefits of increased research impact. Currently, papers that meet the reproducibility requirements are published in a special collection with open access fees waived by the journal. Additionally, papers are marked with a bronze or silver reproducibility badge to indicate making some artifacts publicly available (bronze) or replicated (silver). Finally, JWRPM has introduced new annual awards for reproducibility, separately awarding authors and reviewers for their efforts. Several years in, JWRPM has published 6 articles with a reproducibility badge, with 4 more in press, and an additional 17 in review or revision. Based on the success of this program, which began in 2020, ASCE is planning to expand it to journals outside water resources. Want to publish a paper with more impact, learn how to make your results more accessible to our community, or become a reproducibility reviewer? Attend this talk.
