Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication PrinciplesReproducible research in various facets of signal processing

How often have you been able to implement an algorithm as it is described in a paper? And when you did, were you confident that you had exactly the same parameter values and results as the authors of the paper? All too often, articles do not describe all the details of an algorithm and thus prohibit an implementation by someone else. In this paper, we describe reproducible research, a paradigm to allow other people to reproduce with minimal effort the results that have been obtained. We discuss both the reproducibility of data and algorithms, and give examples for each of them. The effort required to make research reproducible is compensated by a higher visibility and impact of the results.
