Yesterday the US National Academies released a committee report addressing Reproducibility and Replicability in Science. This has many implications not only for scientific practice broadly, but also for the scholarly communications system and for research data management.
The announcement can be found at http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=25303
The report (or the executive summary) can be downloaded as a free PDF at https://www.nap.edu/catalog/25303/reproducibility-and-replicability-in-science
