Open and Reproducible Research (ORR)

DISSC promotes transparency, reproducibility, and accountability in social science research. 

The Open and Reproducible Research (ORR) program supports Yale social science researchers by helping to make their work more transparent and reproducible. Through DISSC and the Yale Library, we offer consultation, infrastructure, and resources to help you meet open research requirements.

Reproducibility and rigor are not technical side issues. They are core to scientific inquiry.

  • verify that others can computationally reproduce the research

Researchers looking to receive consultations on open and reproducible research should contact us for help.

Resources and Information

Open and reproducible research practices increase transparency in social science. More transparent research can lead to improvements in methods, new scientific breakthroughs, and more knowledge creation.
