> you can read the methods and they check out. I'm a materials scientist specializing in microscopy and image analysis, not an astrophysicist. In my area of interest, there is rarely sufficient information published to confidently repeat results. Indeed, the current reproducible research community had origins in computer vision (and was then embraced by the biostatistics community). I applaud the expectation of openness - especially if funded by government grants. Too often, we taxpayers pay for research that get trapped behind paywalls. I agree the the academic astrophysics community has it tough. This is symptomatic of the entire academic community that is producing too many Ph.D.s desiring too few academic positions. Guess what - it will only get worse when the unsustainable government spending and debt causes the education bubble to burst.
