When the authors don’t provide a README, any code, or the deposit is completely empty* or contains all the replication materials as ‘.zip’ files, you submit a short report to ScholarOne.

*double-check the openICPSR log history first. They might have uploaded stuff but openICPSR glitches and shows an empty repo.

  • Assign the Jira case to yourself
  • Create the bitbucket repository as usual
  • Fill out the bitbucket short name
  • If deposit is not empty, run the pipeline
  • Use the draft-replication-noncompliant.md file in the repository and fill in accordingly.
  • Move the short report to “REPLICATION.md”
  • “Fast track” the Jira ticket to Writing Report (Part C). In the pop-up window, fill out:
    • Resolution as “Not able to replicate”
    • Reason for Failure to be Fully Reproducible as “Missing README” and anything else relevant.
  • Move to Jira ticket to Under Review (Report URL should be filled out if it hasn’t already)
  • Move ticket again to Pre-approved (make sure the MCRecommendationV2 field is filled out)
  • Tag Lars letting him know a short report has been written.
