Short summary
In the field of cancer research, a scandal occurred at Duke University in the USA in which independent researchers were unable to repeat analysis performed by another group. This led to recommendations by the university and governing organizations to motivate the use of scripting languages to enhance repeatability of research. The hydrology community can easily adopt similar protocols to enhance the integrity of our data analysis and modeling.
