Guest Editorial Reproducibility Initiative at the SC Conference Series: A Preface to the Special Section

Welcome to our special section on reproducibility in large-scale computational science. Reproducibility is one of the foundations of science, ensuring not only the transparency and rigor of the methods utilized for discovery but also that the research involved can be built upon. In order to enable research and to support open science, it is crucial that the computational work performed on high performance computing (HPC) systems is also reproducible.
