Re-runnable code is all you need

Reproducibility is fundamental to scientific integrity but is increasingly compromised by the common practices of publishing papers without code, or sharing code that cannot be executed easily on another computer due to unmanaged dependencies and computing environments. This talk introduces the landscape of tools that enable researchers to overcome these barriers, with a focus on Devbox, a tool designed to encapsulate computing environments. With Devbox it is easy to ensure that scientific code is not just runnable but also replicable across various systems. By highlighting specific case studies, this session demonstrates how Devbox and similar technologies can transform research workflows, dramatically saving time with automation, making it easier to collaborate, and enhancing the credibility of results. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to implement a culture of reproducibility, making their research transparent and reproducible with minimal effort.
