Transparency and Reproducibility Practice in Large-Scale Computational Science: A Preface to the Special Section

With this special section we bring you a practice and experience effort in transparency and reproducibility for large-scale computational science. A unique section, it consists of a research work plus six critques, each by a student team that reproduced the work. The original research work has been expanded in its science and also in its contribution to open science with a discussion of the student effort. Our letter contemplates implications as well.
