Reproducibility Policy
➔ Why Reproducibility Matters
At Current Research Bulletin (CRB), reproducibility is a cornerstone of scientific integrity. We believe that results must be verifiable, replicable, and robust, ensuring that research can serve as a reliable foundation for future advances across disciplines.
➔ What We Expect from Authors
➔ Open Data: All relevant datasets should be made available to enable review and verification.
➔ Detailed Methods: Methods, protocols, and analytical steps must be clearly and comprehensively described.
➔ Code Availability: Scripts, software, and computational pipelines should be openly shared (e.g., via GitHub or trusted repositories).
➔ Material Availability: All experimental materials should be accessible or fully described.
➔ Transparency: Limitations and constraints that may affect reproducibility must be openly stated.
➔ Review and Verification
All submissions undergo a double‑blind peer review process, where rigor, accuracy, and reproducibility are central evaluation criteria.
Reviewers may request access to data, protocols, or code to assess reproducibility.
Submissions that lack clarity, transparency, or accessibility may be returned for revision or declined.
➔ Post‑Publication Reproducibility
CRB welcomes Post‑Publication Discussions, Comments, and Replication Studies that critically assess published results.
If significant reproducibility concerns arise, the Editorial Board will review the matter thoroughly and, when necessary, issue a Correction, Expression of Concern, or Retraction.
➔ Our Commitment to Trust and Integrity
Reproducibility is not just a requirement — it is a core value at CRB. We are dedicated to nurturing an environment where data, methods, and findings can be reliably tested, scrutinized, and built upon for the benefit of the global research community.
