## Abstract

> The reproducibility crisis in computational research is fundamentally structural: research artifacts are scattered across disconnected tools—LaTeX editors, Jupyter notebooks, ad-hoc shell scripts—with no enforced mechanism to keep code, data, and manuscript synchronized. Studies have shown that most published findings are false positives, replication rates in psychology hover around 36%, and only ...

## Key Findings

- The reproducibility crisis in computational research is fundamentally structural: research artifacts are scattered across disconnected tools—LaTeX editors, Jupyter notebooks, ad-hoc shell scripts—with
- Studies have shown that most published findings are false positives, replication rates in psychology hover around 36%, and only 24% of 1.4 million Jupyter notebooks can be successfully re-executed.
