Sparks, A.H., Del Ponte, E.M., Alves, K. S., Foster, Z., Grünwald, N. J. (2023). Openness and computational reproducibility in plant pathology: where do we stand and a way forward. agriRxiv, Accessed 07 Aug 2024. Online at https://doi.org/10.31220/agriRxiv.2021.00082
The paper is a systematic and quantitative review of articles published in 21 plant pathology journals that spans five years of publications. It provides a basis for identifying what has been done so far in the discipline of plant pathology’s published research to ensure computational reproducibility. The results show that as a discipline, plant pathologists are not widely sharing data or code openly, making the works largely unreproducible. Based on these results and our own experiences, we offer suggestions as to how we can further improve reproducibility in the discipline of plant pathology, but which are not unique to the discipline, that would allow reviewers to make better suggestions, readers to learn more from the work and earns author more citations for their work.

This repository is organized as an R package. There is one R function,
import_notes() that is used in the paper’s figure and table making
when the file, analysis/paper/paper.Rmd is knit. Additionally, a
bibliography file, “references.bib”, of the articles that were examined
and the notes from the evaluation,
“Reproducibility_in_plant_pathology_notes.ods” of the articles are both
located in inst/extdata directory. We have used the R package
structure to help manage dependencies, to take advantage of continuous
integration for automated code testing and for file organisation.
You can download the compendium as a zip from from this URL: https://github.com/openplantpathology/Reproducibility_in_Plant_Pathology/archive/main.zip
Or you can install this compendium as an R package, Reproducibility.in.Plant.Pathology, from GitHub with:
if (!require("remotes"))
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("openplantpathology/Reproducibility_in_Plant_Pathology"
)Once the download is complete, open the
Reproducibility_in_Plant_Pathology.Rproj in RStudio to begin working
with the package and compendium files.
Get the latest instance from Dockerhub, launch it and go to
localhost:8787 in your browser. Login with rstudio, password is
rstudio.
docker pull adamhsparks/reproducibility_in_plant_pathology
docker run -d -p 8787:8787 adamhsparks/reproducibility_in_plant_pathologyThe file structure follows a normal R package with one exception. The top-level “/analysis” directory contains the directories and files necessary to re-knit the MS Word document of the paper from an Rmd file, “/analysis/paper/paper.Rmd”.
A script, knit_paper.R, is located in analysis/paper/knit_paper.R
that will knit the manuscript and the
supplementary materials in a
Docker session.
