Q2. What are the main areas of concern for reproducibility in IR?
reproducing IR experiments is extremely challenging and there are three main different areas that are of major concern for reproducibility: experiments (or system runs), experimental collections, and meta-evaluation studies.
Q3. What are the main areas of concern for reproducibility?
The most common concern for reproducibility are system runs, i.e. the outputs of the execution of an IR system, since they are what typically researchers and developers want to compare their new ideas against.
Q4. What is the main issue that needs to be addressed in this paper?
Data citation plays a central role for enabling reproducibility, but despite its importance and the attention dedicated by the information and computer science communities, there still are several open issues that need to be tackled in order to have a general and usable data citation system.
Q5. How should the framework be paired with semantic models to support reproducibility?
7 http://lod-direct.dei.unipd.it/fledged abstract conceptual framework for describing IR experiments with reproducibility and data citation in mind, e.g. an evolution of PRIMAD, should be paired with semantic models clearly formalizing it, e.g. a further development of LOD-DIRECT, and proper systems should be developed to implement and operationalize it, e.g. starting from DIRECT and TIRA.
Q6. What is the role of citation in scientific publishing?
In the traditional context of printed material, the practice of citation has been evolving and adapting across the centuries [21] reaching a stable and reliable state; nevertheless, traditional citation methods and practices cannot be easily applied for citing data.
