abstract = {One of the foundations of the scientific method is to be
able to reproduce experiments and corroborate the results of
research that has been done before. However, with the
increasing complexities of new technologies and techniques,
coupled with the specialisation of experiments, reproducing
research findings has become a growing challenge. Clearly,
scientific methods must be conveyed succinctly, and with
clarity and rigour, in order for research to be
reproducible. Here, we propose steps to help increase the
transparency of the scientific method and the
reproducibility of research results: specifically, we
introduce a peer-review oath and accompanying manifesto.
These have been designed to offer guidelines to enable
reviewers (with the minimum friction or bias) to follow and
apply open-science principles, and support the ideas of
transparency, reproducibility and ultimately greater
societal impact. Introducing the oath and manifesto at the
stage of peer review will help to check that the research
being published includes everything that other researchers
would need to successfully repeat the work. Peer review is
the lynchpin of the publishing system: encouraging the
community to consciously (and conscientiously) uphold these
principles prior to publication should help to improve
published papers, increase confidence in the reproducibility
of the work and, ultimately, provide strategic benefits to
authors and their institutions. Future incarnations of the
various national Research Excellence Frameworks (REFs) will
evolve away from simple citations towards measurable
societal value and impact. The proposed manifesto aspires to
facilitate this goal by making transparency, reproducibility
and citizen-scientist engagement with the knowledge-creation
and dissemination processes, the default parameters for
performing sound research.},
