Academic publisher Taylor & Francis and Code Ocean, a cloud-based computational reproducibility platform, have announced a new partnership that enables researchers to easily share and run code, making journal articles more robust.
Readers will enjoy new interactivity where the Code Ocean widget is embedded within an article. They can run the code instantly within the page to easily reproduce and replicate data findings, so results can be verified and tested, and knowledge improved.
Authors can share their executable code with their data so that it can be visualised, augmented, and built upon. They will benefit from greater visibility of their code and can collaborate with others, with any open source programming language, plus MATLAB and Stata. Recognising the use of code across many fields - from engineering to psychology - Taylor & Francis will implement Code Ocean across disciplines.
Authors retain their copyright for code and can authorise use with any open source license they choose. Code Ocean assigns a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to the code when it is deposited to the platform and can be associated with the article at any stage of publication. Taylor & Francis will incorporate Code Ocean into its publishing workflow starting with a selection of journals in early 2018, with the goal to roll it out across journals that are rich in code and data.
