** Reproducibility, today
*** Reproducibility (Wikipedia)
the ability of an entire experiment or study to be \emph{reproduced}, either by the researcher or \emph{by someone else working independently}.\\
It is one of the main principles of the scientific method.
*** Why we want it
- foundation of the scientific method
- accelerator of research: allows to build upon previous work
- visibility: reproducible results are cited more often

- transparency of results eases acceptance
- necessary for industrial transfer\\
#+latex: \hfill \alert{reproducibility is \emph{the essence} of \emph{industry}}!
