在与数据分析和计算方法有关的学科中，对可重复研究的需求正在上升。因此，我们回顾了目前的建议，可重复的研究，并将其转化为标准，以评估在地理信息科学（GIScience）领域的文章的可重复性。使用这个标准，我们评估了欧洲地理信息实验室协会（AGILE）系列会议的GIScience研究样本，并收集了研究作者对评估的反馈。作者反馈的结果表明，尽管作者支持进行可重复研究的概念，但在实践中这样做的激励太小。因此，我们为个别研究人员和GIScience系列会议提出了具体行动，以提高透明度和可重复性。例如，为了支持研究人员产生可复制的工作，GIScience会议系列可以提供奖项和论文徽章，为计算研究提供作者指南，并以开放获取格式发表文章。
The demand for reproducible research is on the rise in disciplines concerned with data analysis and computational methods. Therefore, we reviewed current recommendations for reproducible research and translated them into criteria for assessing the reproducibility of articles in the field of geographic information science (GIScience). Using this criteria, we assessed a sample of GIScience studies from the Association of Geographic Information Laboratories in Europe (AGILE) conference series, and we collected feedback about the assessment from the study authors. Results from the author feedback indicate that although authors support the concept of performing reproducible research, the incentives for doi ng this in practice are too small. Therefore, we propose concrete actions for individual researchers and the GIScience conference series to improve transparency and reproducibility. For example, to support researchers in producing reproducible work, the GIScience conference series could offer awards and paper badges, provide author guidelines for computational research, and publish articles in Open Access formats.
