Work
editStodden's work focuses on facilitating the reproducibility of research, specifically in computational sciences.[1] She is the founder of "Reproducible Research Standard" and the website ResearchCompendia.org, which was announced in 2015 to enable public verification of research and methods but went defunct in 2016.[2][3][4] In 2020, Stodden proposed a set of guidelines for researchers working in data science, including the role of reproducible research.[5]
Her current focus lies in scientific research incentives, having said: "A big part of the work I am doing concerns the scientific reward structure. For example, my work on the Reproducible Research Standard is an effort to realign the intellectual property rules scientists are subject to, to be closer to our scientific norms."[6]
Board membership
editStodden is a co-chair for the National Science Foundation's Advisory Committee for CyberInfrastructure. She also serves on the Committee on Electronic Information and Communication of the International Mathematical Union and the Advisory Board for Project TIER (Teaching Integrity in Empirical Research).[7]
