abstract = {Reproducible research (RR) constitutes the idea that a
publication should be accompanied by all relevant material
to reproduce the results and findings of a scientific work.
Hence, results can be verified and researchers are able to
build upon these. Efforts of the Biometrical Journal over
the last five years have increased the number of manuscripts
which are reproducible by a factor of 4 to almost $50\%.$
Yet, more than half of the code submission could not be
executed in the initial review due to missing code, missing
data or errors in the code. Careful checks of the submitted
code as part of the reviewing process are essential to
eliminate these issues and to foster RR. In this article, we
reviewed n=56 recent submissions of code and data to
identify common reproducibility issues. Based on these
findings, guidelines for structuring code submission to the
Biometrical Journal have been established to help authors.
These guidelines should help researchers to implement RR in
general. Together with the code reviews, this supports the
mission of the Biometrical Journal in publishing highest
quality, novel and relevant papers on statistical methods
and their applications in life sciences. Source code and
data to reproduce the presented data analyses are available
as Supplementary Material on the journal's web page.},
