[Insight-developers] REPRODUCIBILITY: IEEE CVPR 2010, Moved to the Bright Side !!!

[Luis Ibanez]

                                In a Historic move,

For the first time,

       an IEEE Conference is including REPRODUCIBILITY
       as one of the criteria for paper reviews.


Kudoz to the CVPR 2010 committee for resuscitating
the basic principles of scientific research !!!

Note that REPEATABILITY, also leads logically to the need for
Open Access to Data, software implementations and parameters.

Repeatability Criteria:

The CVPR 2010 reviewer form will include the following additional
criteria, with rating and associated comment field:

        "Are there sufficient algorithmic and experimental details
         and available datasets that a graduate student could
         replicate the experiments in the paper?

         Alternatively, will a reference implementation be provided?".


During paper registration, authors will be asked to answer the following
two checkbox questions:

      "1. Are the datasets used in this paper
            already publicly available, or will they
           be made available for research use at
          the time of submission of the final camera-ready
          version of the paper (if accepted)?

      "2. Will a reference implementation adequate to
            replicate results in the paper be made publicly
            available (if accepted)?"


If either these boxes are checked, the authors should specify in the
submitted paper the scope of such datasets and/or implementations
 so that the reviewers can judge the merit of that aspect of the
submission's contribution.

The Program Chairs realize that for certain CVPR subfields providing
such datasets, implementations, or detailed specification is impractical,
but in other areas it is reasonable and sometimes even standard, so
on balance repeatability is a relevant criteria for reviewer consideration.

"N.A." will be an available reviewer score for this field, as it is
for other fields.
