Reproducibility

"... is a cornerstone of science. Definitions vary greatly across scientific disciplines, but the meaning that we find most prevalent is the 'calculation of quantitative scientific results by independent scientists using the original datasets and methods' (Stodden, Leisch, & Peng, 2014). The goals of reproducibility go beyond duplicating someone else’s investigation: it also entails having reproducibility for yourself, defeating self-deception in scientific results (Ioannidis, 2005; Nuzzo, 2015), and extending another researcher’s methods to build your own work. Reproducibility is a matter of degree, not of kind. We say that research is reproducible if reproducibility applies to the results to some extent. That is, some of the corresponding experiments and scientific methods are deemed to be reproducible.

Provenance

"As the volume of digital data increases and the complexity of computational processes that manipulate these data grows, it is becoming increasingly important to manage their provenance. The Oxford English Dictionary defines provenance as the source or origin of an object; its history and pedigree; a record of the ultimate derivation and passage of an item through its various owners. Provenance helps determine the value, accuracy, and authorship of an object."
