When scientific code is not required to be published with its research literature who really knows how bad it is?
- bsdpufferfish 3y agoA few responses come to mind. Who is requiring? What counts as code that needs to be published? But perhaps the most relevant response is that few people read papers, even fewer are going to look into their zip. The whole idea of papers is to condense a whole lot of work into concise digestible information.
- maximus-decimus 3y agoAren't papers also supposed to be reproducible? Having access to the original code would allow you to see why you're not getting the same results if it's caused by a bug.
