The content of this article is not different from what is in the journal (found here: http://digitalcommons.du.edu/collaborativelibrarianship/vol9/iss2/4)Recommended CitationSteeves, Vicky (2017) "Reproducibility Librarianship," Collaborative Librarianship: Vol. 9 : Iss. 2 , Article 4. Available at: https://digitalcommons.du.edu/collaborativelibrarianship/vol9/iss2/4Over the past few years, research reproducibility has been increasingly highlighted as a multifaceted challenge across many disciplines. There are socio-cultural obstacles as well as a constantly changing technical landscape that make replicating and reproducing research extremely difficult. Researchers face challenges in reproducing research across different operating systems and different versions of software, to name just a few of the many technical barriers. The prioritization of citation counts and journal prestige has undermined incentives to make research reproducible.While libraries have been building support around research data management and digital scholarship, reproducibility is an emerging area that has yet to be systematically addressed. To respond to this, New York University (NYU) created the position of Librarian for Research Data Management and Reproducibility (RDM & R), a dual appointment between the Center for Data Science (CDS) and the Division of Libraries. This report will outline the role of the RDM & R librarian, paying close attention to the collaboration between the CDS and Libraries to bring reproducible research practices into the norm.
