Ethics and Reproducibility Checklist

Authors and reviewers are asked to consider the following checklist when preparing and reviewing papers:

  1. Does the submission provide demographic information on the population involved in any
    studies or the population in any datasets that are used?
  2. If new data are collected, does the submission describe how participants’ privacy rights
    were respected in the data collection process?
  3. Does the submission replicate new or existing results across population(s)?
  4. Does the submission include a discussion about both potential positive and negative
    educational impacts of the proposed research artifact or application?
  5. Does the submission discuss possible ethical concerns related to the work?
  6. Does the submission discuss the limitations of the work?
  7. Does the submission indicate the computational power and rough amount of compute
    time needed to produce the results?
  8. Does the paper provide open-source code to reproduce the results?
  9. Are links provided to the dataset(s) used in the paper to allow others to freely use that data?

For additional considerations regarding reproducibility please check Joelle’s checklist https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~jpineau/ReproducibilityChecklist.pdf

Source Code

Links to existing source code are encouraged, however to keep the double-masked reviewing, we suggest using a service such as Anonymous GitHub (https://anonymous.4open.science).

Statement on Open Science

Authors are encouraged to conduct their scientific inquiry using emerging best practices in open science. Authors are encouraged to preregister their study design, hypotheses, and analysis plans, and publish these using platforms such as OSF.io or AsPredicted.org. Whenever possible, feasible, and ethical, authors are encouraged to make their data, materials, and scripts openly available for inspection, replication, and follow-up analysis. The best way to share these materials is to use an established platform like OSF.io.

Authors are also encouraged to post pre-prints of their submissions with preprint hosting sites such as EdArXiv.org or on their own sites. If accepted, any preprint version should be updated to refer readers to the journal version as the document of record. We support open dissemination of knowledge as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work (See The Effect of Open Access).

Use of Large Language Models (LLMs):

Authors are welcome to use any tool that will help them prepare high-quality papers. The authors are solely responsible for the entire content of the paper, including all text, figures, and references. They must ensure that all the content is correct and original. Failure to adhere to this policy may lead to desk rejection of the paper.
