Some time ago, Carlos Granell, Frank Ostermann, Daniel Nüst, Peter Kedron, Eftychia Koukouraki, Miguel Matey-Sanz, Rémy Decoupes, Sergio Trilles, Anita Graser and Tom Niers began an study to evaluate whether or not the combined effect on the AGILE Guidelines for authors and workflow review process to award badges for successful reproductions had an impact on the potential reproducibility level of AGILE papers.

Now, this study is finally out and available at https://doi.org/10.5311/JOSIS.2026.32.591. 

Their results indicate that the AGILE reproducibility guidelines and the review process measurably improved the potential reproducibility of AGILE publications. This is an important benefit for the AGILE community and especially for authors (you!) who publish in the AGILE conference series, as the research reported is in general more reproducible than in other similar conferences and venues. Higher level of reproducibility of AGILE papers is something that distinguishes us from the rest.Thank you all for believing in the AGILE reproducibility initiative and making it a reality.

Keep the reproducibility ball rolling!
