What is code review?

Code review is the process of methodically and systematically checking over code after it has been written.

Debut of Peer Code Review: January 2024

Given the upcoming conference deadlines that many of us are working towards, we’re excited to invite you to make use of our new Pre-Conference Peer Code Review program.

You can submit your codebase to our Open Research team for reviewing any of the following:

  1. Does it run?
    • Language-independent review
    • Receive feedback within 24 hours
  2. Is it reproducible?
    • Language-independent review
    • Receive feedback in 48-72 hours
  3. Is it auditable and understandable?
    • Language-dependent review
    • Receive feedback in 1 week
  4. Does it follow best practices?
    • Language-dependent review
    • Receive feedback in 1-2 weeks

For language-dependent review, our current team can help with projects using Python, R, PHP, MatLab, C++, Java, Javascript, TypeScript, Linux, Docker, Singularity, and HTML/CSS.

Please ensure that your review package includes:

     ✓ A README file that describes the project; specifies credit and licensing

     ✓ Any outputs that the reviewers should try to reproduce

     ✓ All data used to create the outputs to be reproduced

     ✓ All code necessary to recreate the outputs

     ✓ A main script that runs any subscripts in the relevant order

We look forward to hearing from you and helping you with your submissions!
