论文摘要
是否基于(i)公开,在线观察数据文件以及(ii)提供免费许可的软件来复制其结果易于复制的科学研究论文,十年后同一位作者易于复制?本文试图重现2008年发表的宇宙拓扑观测论文,并满足了标准(i)和(ii)。复制步骤在免费许可的GIT存储库软件包“ 0807.4260”中正式定义,并在当前论文中定性。据此发现,升级软件核心的Fortran 77代码的努力,与C前端连接,并最初与G77相连,以当代GFORTRAN编译器的内容汇编,风险太大,无法在任何短时间内被证明是合理的。从这个意义上讲,尽管(i)数据可用性以及(ii)软件的免费许可和公众可用性,但RBG08的结果似乎并不像看起来那样可重复。遵循RBG08的ARXIV身份代码(ARXIV:0807.4260),将重现此不完整复制步骤的软件和复制该不完整复制步骤的脚本组合在一起。
Is a scientific research paper based on (i) public, online observational data files and (ii) providing free-licensed software for reproducing its results easy to reproduce by the same author a decade later? This paper attempts to reproduce a cosmic topology observational paper published in 2008 and satisfying both criteria (i) and (ii). The reproduction steps are defined formally in a free-licensed git repository package "0807.4260" and qualitatively in the current paper. It was found that the effort in upgrading the Fortran 77 code at the heart of the software, interfaced with a C front end, and originally compiled with g77, in the content of the contemporary gfortran compiler, risked being too great to be justified on any short time scale. In this sense, the results of RBG08 are not as reproducible as they appeared to be, despite both (i) data availability and (ii) free-licensing and public availability of the software. The software and a script to reproduce the steps of this incomplete reproduction are combined in a new git repository named 0807.4260, following the ArXiv identity code (arXiv:0807.4260) of RBG08.
