Reproducibility is a key component of science, as the replication of findings is the process by which they become knowledge. It is widely considered that many fields of science, including medical imaging, are undergoing a reproducibility crisis. This has led to the publications of various guidelines to improve research reproducibility, such as the checklists proposed by NeurIPS or MICCAI. In this presentation, after introducing various concepts related to reproducibility, we will discuss the fact that using such checklists is not straightforward, both for the authors that have to fill them and for the reviewers that have to comment them, and that their use remains to be clarified for reproducible research to grow in the medical image processing field.
