Leveraging Semantics to Improve Reproducibility in Scientific Workflows

Reproducibility of published results is a cornerstone in scientific publishing and progress. Therefore, the scientific community has been encouraging authors and editors to publish their contributions in a verifiable and understandable way. Efforts such as the Reproducibility Initiative [1], or the Reproducibility Projects on Biology [2] and Psychology [3] domains, have been defining standards and patterns to assess whether an experimental result is reproducible.
