It's true CS has this problem. But that doesn't mean you cannot do reproducible research in academia. It's up to you.

- ziotom78 6y agoWell, I believe that the biggest problem is that there are very little incentives in doing that. Everybody (your university, the Government, the funding agencies...) rushes you to publish as many papers as possible, get zillions of citations, and boost your h-index; however, they do not give a damn about the reproducibility of the results you are publishing.

- lr1970 6y agoIn many academic disciplines there are no real incentives for reproducible research. On the contrary, reproducibility helps your colleagues/competitors poke holes in your papers. It is quite perverse that being secretive and sneaky is better for career advancement that being open and honest. This is the underlying root of the problem.
