"Community Forum on Reproducible Research Policies"

Renaissance Hotel, Vancouver, BC
5:00 - 7:30pm, Saturday, July 16, 2011

This forum takes place on the final day of a
Workshop on Reproducible Research:

Tools and Strategies for Scientific Computing ,

and just before the start of ICIAM 2011,
which is also in Vancouver.

The forum is open to all interested members
of the scientific computing community.


Description of the forum

We are inviting a number of people from the editorial boards of journals,
leadership positions in professional societies, and program managers
from funding agencies. Our goal is to facilitate a discussion of issues
such as:

    * What is the meaning of "reproducible research" in computational science?
    * How is computational research best preserved?
    * What policies will encourage reproducibility?
    * What should journals require and/or provide to accompany
computational publications?
    * Should funding agencies support public databases for code and data?


There will be no registration fee, and in general
there is no financial support available for participants.

Please give an indication as soon as possible if you
anticipate coming on the registration page.

You may modify this and resubmit if your plans change.
At any rate, please register by May 1, 2011.

Registration is free,
but we need to know how many to expect.
