摘要

Reproducibility is the ultimate standard by which scientific findings are judged. From the computer science perspective, reproducible research is often related to literate programming [13], a paradigm conceived by Donald Knuth, and the basic idea is to combine computer code and software 4documentation in the same document; the code and documentation can be identified by different special markers. We can either compile the code and mix the results with documentation or extract the source code from the document. To some extent, this implies reproducibility because everything is generated automatically from computer code, and the code can reflect all the details about computing.
