THE INSIDER PUBLICATION FOR COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY, DESIGN, AND PRINT

GEOMDIGEST Methodology

Reproducibility
Score

The GEOMDIGEST reproducibility score is an editorial index, not a claim about whether a researcher's entire body of work is perfectly reproducible. It is meant to answer a narrower question: how much public evidence is available that lets other people inspect, rerun, or build on the work linked from this profile?

Two score states

Profiles are either `audited`, when we have counted public code/data links across a checked publication set, or `provisional`, when the score is still an estimate based on visible open-source signal and profile completeness.

What counts

We count public code repositories, public data releases, benchmark packages, and clearly linked supplementary material that materially helps another researcher inspect or rerun the work.

We do not count private repositories, paywalled datasets with no reuse path, or vague statements that code is available "upon request." The score is based on what is publicly reachable from the audited publication set.

Across the currently audited set we have counted 1630 papers with public code and 621 papers with public data out of 3568 checked papers.

Audited formula
`20 + 50 * sqrt(code share) + 15 * sqrt(data share) + up to 10 points for audit coverage + up to 5 points for audit freshness`
Example: 73
Provisional formula
`18 + h-index signal + open-source topic weighting + GitHub presence + profile depth + source confidence`, capped below audited-exemplary scores.
Example: 63
How to challenge a score

If a score looks wrong, send the profile URL plus the missing evidence through the contact page. The strongest challenges include a DOI, repository link, dataset link, or supplementary materials page we can verify directly.

We will update the score when the public evidence changes, when a profile is claimed, or when an audited publication set is corrected.
