The act directed the National Science Foundation to engage the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in a study to assess reproducibility and replicability in scientific and engineering research and to provide findings and recommendations for improving rigor and transparency in that research. See Box 1-1 for the full statement of task.

draw conclusions and make recommendations for improving rigor and transparency in scientific and engineering research and will identify and highlight compelling examples of good practices. The National Academies appointed a committee of 15 experts to carry out this evaluation, representing a wide range of expertise and backgrounds: methodology and statistics, history and philosophy of science, science communication, behavioral and social sciences (including experts in the social and behavioral factors that influence the reproducibility and replicability of research results)

At these meetings, the committee heard from scientific society presidents and their representatives, representatives from funding agencies, science editors and reporters from different media outlets, researchers across a variety of sciences and engineering, experts (e.g., scientific journal editors and researchers) focused on reproducibility and replicability issues, and those with international perspectives.

While reproducibility and replicability are important components in the ongoing task of validating new scientific 2 Because the terms used to describe similar activities across science and engineering differ, the committee selected generic terms to describe the components of scientific work, and they are used consistently throughout the report: "study" refers to work on a specific scientific question; "results" refer to the output of a study but does not include conclusions that are derived based on the results.
