  2. Where Do I Stand?* “No, thank you...” • Run your code • Duplicate your environment • Bitwise reproducibility “Yes, please...” • Implement your algorithm • Portable results • Understand the differences reproducibility > re-enactment *your mileage may vary

  3. What Do I Want to See Next?* • Promote the value of fundamentals a la "Ten Simple Rules" • Especially automation, change management, traceability • No magic bullets imposed from above; let the marketplace decide • Expect clarity • Readable, well-documented source code • Datasets: provenance, formats, meaning of fields • Encourage discussion and reflection • e.g. NSF Grant Proposal Guide ChII.C.2.j (Data Management Plan): "Plans for data management...may include..." [How 'bout a sixth item that says something like...] 6. mechanisms and processes that enhance opportunities for reproducibility." *your mileage may vary
