In 2016, the Journal of the American Statistical Association Applications and Case Studies introduced a reproducibility initiative to address the lack of standardized practices for reproducibility in scientific research. This initiative established minimum criteria for the inclusion of code, data, and workflow for JASA Applications and Case Studies papers and piloted a new editorial role—associate editor of reproducibility—to implement these standards. This initiative has since expanded to all original research manuscripts published in the journal.
