Paraphrasing Jon Claerbout: “An article [...] is not the scholarship itself, it is merely advertising of the scholarship. The actual scholarship is the complete software development environment and the complete set of instructions which generated the figures.” (Barba, 2018) doi.org/10.48550/arX...

British Academy report on open-access publishing. Notes significant challenges with #books. Also: authors support principles of #OAbut see #preprints & #postprints as harmful to reputation and inferior in format/reading. Aligning with known #publisher is critical for #promotion. #lang #ling
Academic works should be made available to everyone who wants to read them through open access (OA).

Should you do a replication (same data) or reproduction (different data)? Reproduction - if possible - is much easier and can inform replication attempts. Even without data, reproducibility can be assessed (eg via preregistrations). Here is our handbook's decision tree: forrt.org/replication_...
