Factors that affect reproducibility in research.

An approximation of the classification of categories that contribute to irreproducible scientific results, including technical, human, errors in study design and statistical analysis and external. Specific examples have been listed under each category.

Approaches that scientists can use to increase the reproducibility of their publications.

From top to bottom, approaches that can be used on their own or in combination to increase the reproducibility of experiments, ordered from least reproducibility to most. The column on the right includes details of tools and resources than can be used to help scientists take each specific approach.
