A note on rigour and replicability

Panos Louridas, Georgios Gousios
2012 Software engineering notes  
As any empirical science, Software Engineering research should strive towards better research practices. Replication is regrettably not a priority for Software Engineering researchers and, moreover, not afforded by many published studies. Here we report our experience from our encounter with a recent paper in a flagship Software Engineering conference. Our experience shows that current publication requirements do not guarantee replicability.
