In this issue of the Journal, Vable et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2021;190(10):2172-2177) discuss a systematic approach to code review as a way to improve reproducibility in epidemiologic research. Reproducibility needs to become a cornerstone of our work. In the present commentary, I discuss some of the implications of their proposal, other methods to reduce coding mistakes, and other methods to improve reproducibility in research in general. Finally, I discuss the fact that no one of these approaches is sufficient on its own; rather, these different steps need to become part of a culture that prioritizes reproducibility in research.
在本期《美国流行病学杂志》中,Vable 等人(Am J Epidemiol. 2021;190(10):2172-2177)讨论了一种系统的编码审查方法,以此提高流行病学研究的可重复性。可重复性需要成为我们工作的基石。在本评论中,我讨论了他们建议的一些含义,其他减少编码错误的方法,以及一般提高研究可重复性的其他方法。最后,我讨论了这样一个事实,即这些方法中的任何一种都不是单独足够的;相反,这些不同的步骤需要成为优先考虑研究可重复性的文化的一部分。
