"description": "Use when strengthening IEEE ICSME reproducibility and open-science evidence, covering the data-availability statement, anonymized-but-runnable artifacts, mining and LLM provenance pinning, claim-to-evidence mapping, honest degrees of reproducibility, and consistency between the paper and the artifact ahead of the ROSE-Festival IEEE badges."

ICSME Reproducibility
Use this before submission and again before camera-ready. ICSME's ROSE-Festival culture makes reproducibility a valued, sometimes scored dimension rather than a courtesy: double-anonymous review already expects an inspectable artifact, and the Joint Artifact Evaluation Track and ROSE Festival rewards a permanent, open one with IEEE badges. The goal is that a competent maintainer could rebuild your evidence — re-mine the corpus, re-run the technique — and reach your conclusions.
Evidence map
- Map each research-question answer, technique claim, and reported number to a verifiable location — a paper section, a table generated from logged data, or a script in the artifact.
- For techniques, give enough of the algorithm, parameters, and environment that a reader could re-implement or re-run it on their own systems.
- For mining/evolution studies, report subject systems and their selection, the extraction pipeline, preprocessing, metrics, statistics, and the analysis scripts.
- Keep the data-availability statement truthful and specific: what is shared (corpus, scripts, subject list), where it will live after acceptance, and — if something cannot be shared (proprietary legacy code, private history) — exactly why.
- Keep the paper and the artifact consistent: a number in the PDF that no script in the artifact produces is the contradiction reviewers read as carelessness.
Data-availability statement audit
| Claim in the paper | Weak availability answer | ICSME-ready answer |
|---|---|---|
| "We mine N evolving projects" | "Dataset available on request" | Anonymized archive of the exact project list, SHAs, and extraction scripts |
| "Our tool detects debt hotspots" | "Code will be released" | Anonymized, runnable tool with a README and a small demo on a bundled repo |
| "We surveyed/interviewed P maintainers" | Nothing (privacy cited vaguely) | Anonymized codebook, protocol, and aggregate data; stated ethics limits |
| "The model summarized the change" | Live API described | Cached prompts and raw responses, model IDs and access dates |
"Available on request" is treated as not available under ROSE norms; convert every such line into a concrete, anonymized artifact or an explicit, justified exception.
Provenance pinning
[Mining] pin repository SHAs; record extraction date and the studied time window; archive the
extracted corpus, not just the query; document fork/duplicate/bot handling
[LLM] record exact model identifiers + access dates; cache raw inputs and outputs; report
sampling settings; prefer post-cutoff subjects to bound contamination
[Compute] state hardware, mining/runtime cost, and number of runs so a reader can size a reproduction
[Randomness] log seeds for any stochastic step; say what is and is not deterministic
Degrees of reproducibility (state the one you achieved)
- Turnkey: one documented command regenerates each table/figure from logged data.
- Scripted: scripts exist but require documented manual steps or access to a large mined corpus.
- Descriptive: prose detailed enough that a competent reader could rebuild the pipeline.
For ICSME, aim turnkey for anything a reviewer might rerun quickly (a detection script on a sample repo, a plot from logged results); a large mined corpus or proprietary history may stay scripted with access clearly documented. Stating the achieved level honestly beats promising turnkey behaviour that fails on a clean machine — especially with no revision round to fix it in.
Vignette: a mixed-methods evolution study
Consider a study combining mined release history with a maintainer survey. Its reproducibility spine: the mining scripts with pinned SHAs and extraction dates; the anonymized extracted dataset with the exact subject-system list; the survey instrument and anonymized responses; the qualitative codebook with inter-rater agreement; and the analysis notebooks that turn all of it into the paper's tables — plus one honest sentence about the parts (identities, private forks) that cannot be shared and why.
Consistency and camera-ready / ROSE pass
- Before submission: every scored number traces to the artifact; the data-availability statement matches reality; the artifact is anonymized (no owner strings, cluster paths, lab names, or your own org's repos).
- Before camera-ready: swap anonymized links for a permanent, DOI-issuing archive, and align the
statement with the IEEE badges you pursue in the ROSE Festival (
icsme-artifact-evaluation).
Output format
[Claim inventory] <claim -> evidence location>
[Data availability] concrete / vague / missing
[Provenance gaps] <mining SHAs / LLM caching / seeds / compute>
[Reproducibility level] turnkey / scripted / descriptive, stated honestly
[Paper fixes] <must appear in the PDF, since there is no revision round>
[Artifact fixes] <additions before upload>
