In fact this is the main reason why I don't subscribe to the idea of research papers including code (as a requirement). Independent replication should rely on independent implementation. Unless the software is too generic, the original researcher should have the advantage of using the implemented software for new discoveries, as much as a traditional scientist has the advantage of using his own lab for additional research.
- irixusr 11y agoBe able to reimplement the code < That's an interesting perspective. However I think the vast majority of simulation work never gets that sort of scrutiny, no matter if the code is open source Personally though I think we should give up on papers and everything should be published on an ipython notebook style page where others can play with data and code.
