TI  - Reproducible Research: a Dissenting Opinion
Y1  - 2012/09/21/
N2  -   Reproducible Research, the de facto title of a growing movement
  within many scientific fields, would require the code, used to
  generate the experimental results, be published along with any
  paper. Probably the most compelling argument for this is that it is
  simply following good scientific practice, established over the
  years by the greats of science. It is further claimed that
  misconduct is causing a growing crisis of confidence in science.
  That, without this requirement being enforced, science would
  inevitably fall into disrepute. This viewpoint is becoming
  ubiquitous but here I offer a dissenting opinion.  I contend that
  the consequences are somewhat overstated. Misconduct is far from
  solely a recent phenomenon; science has succeeded despite it.
  Further, I would argue that the problem of public trust is more to
  do with other factors. I would also contend that the effort
  necessary to meet the movement's aims, and the general attitude it
  engenders, would not serve any of the research disciplines well.
