Abstract

provides insights into a novel initiative within the World Bank: internal prepublication reproducibility checks.Prior contributions to the Reinforcing Reproducibility and Replicability column have highlighted organizational curation efforts (Butler) and some limited reproducibility checks (Peer); now, Jones describes the ambitious effort at the World Bank to provide curation support and reproducibility checks for hundreds of working papers, books, and "flagship reports."Of particular interest are the accompanying efforts to upskill researchers through education and support.Universities, research institutes, and government agencies will find Jones's article an especially worthwhile read.
