I give my data to an independent investigator at another institution, she analyzes the data and gets the same results as I originally obtained.

An investigator at another institution conducts a study addressing the same question, collects her own data, analyzes it separately from me, and publishes her own findings.

I take my own data, analyze it again, and publish new findings.

An investigator at another institution conducts a study addressing a different scientific question and publishes her findings.

The data analysis is conducted using R.

The analysis is conducted on a variant of the Unix operating system.

The full computer code for doing the data analysis is made publicly available.

The investigator’s final publication is made available free of charge.

The study’s original authors re-run their computer code on their analytic data and confirm publicly that the findings match those of the published results.

The study’s analytic data are publicly available, but the computer code is not.

The study’s analytic data and computer code are not publicly available, but the study was simple enough to be repeated by an independent investigator.

The study’s analytic data and computer code for the data analysis are publicly available. When the code is run on the analytic data, the findings are identical to the published results.

The original study had null findings.

The original study was published in a high impact journal and is considered authoritative.

The original study was conducted by a well-known investigator.

The original study was opportunistic in its timing and it would be difficult to find a similar context in which to repeat it.

New technologies are increasing the rate of data collection, creating datasets that are more complex and extremely high dimensional.

The statistical methods for most studies can be accurately described using plain language.

Computing power is limited today, making it difficult to apply sophisticated statistical methods.

Most studies today are small-scale and easily replicated.

It conducts the statistical analysis of the primary outcome.

It transforms the measured data into analytic data.

It transforms the computational results into figures and tables.

It transforms the analytic data into computational results.

Ensure that data analysis documents are always exported in PDF format.

Separate figures and tables from other data analytic summaries.

Combine explanatory text and data analysis code in a single document.

Require that data analysis summaries are always written in LaTeX.
