Dear all, I know that reproducibility is a big concern for the R community, so it may be interesting to some of the readers on this list that The Economist recently ran a series of articles denouncing the alarming number of shoddy and non-reproducible published papers: http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21588069-scientific-research-has-changed-world-now-it-needs-change-itself-how-science-goes-wrong http://www.economist.com/news/briefing/21588057-scientists-think-science-self-correcting-alarming-degree-it-not-trouble
They even went as far as stating that "most published scientific research is probably false": http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2013/10/daily-chart-2 Anyways, food for thought for the weekend.
