Standardizing Survey Data Collection to Enhance Reproducibility: Development and Comparative Evaluation of the ReproSchema Ecosystem
ReproSchema enhances reproducibility by structuring survey-based data collection through a structured, schema-driven approach. It integrates version control, manages metadata, and ensures interoperability, maintaining consistency across studies and compatibility with common survey tools. Planned developments, including ontology mappings and semantic search, will broaden its use, supporting transparent, scalable, and reproducible research across disciplines.
