The ReScience Journal

Aims & Scope

ReScience C is a platinum open-access peer-reviewed journal that targets computational research and encourages the explicit replication of already published research, promoting new and open-source implementations in order to ensure that the original research is reproducible. The accompanying article should help the reader ascertain if the replication was successful and as such, the main focus should be on the replicated results and on any obstacles encountered during the replication. In many cases it can be useful to include high-level summaries of the original model or of your source code. Your goal should be to make the article sufficiently self-contained, but not to repeat all aspects of the original article or your documentation. If a reader has to be familiar with the original article in order to understand your explanations, consider that some readers may be unable to access it if it is behind a paywall.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
