Several steps can be taken to ensure reproducibility in epidemiology:
Detailed Protocols: Provide a comprehensive description of the study design, including the population, sampling methods, data collection instruments, and statistical analyses. Open Data: Make raw data publicly available, ensuring that it is anonymized to protect participant privacy. Code Sharing: Share the code and scripts used for data analysis, allowing others to replicate the analyses. Pre-registration: Register the study protocol in a public registry before data collection begins to prevent selective reporting and post-hoc analyses.
