From the Associate Editor-in-Chief December 2015

Our caring administrative editor Rita Janssen and doting EiC Sabrina Greco have thoughtfully reminded me that it is my turn to write the month\´s editorial. Actually I\´m always pretty pleased, since it gives me a chance to pull back the curtain on something. This time I\´ll begin a discussion about ???Reproducible Research???. The first time I heard the term was at the IEEE???s annual "Panel of Editors" meeting - which I should probably tell you about in some later editorial - in a presentation given by Professor Gianluca Setti of the University of Ferrara. Dr. Setti was then IEEE Vice President for Publication Services and Products, and he is continuing his role by chairing a committee within IEEE that deals with reproducibility.
