CODECHECKInstitutional CODECHECKs
One very effective implementation of a CODECHECK process are workflows at research performing organisations and academic institutions. They allow to improve the reproducibility of research outputs in a trusted environment and even before submission to a journal. This page lists the institutions that have implemented CODECHECK workflows as a service offering for their researchers.
4TU.ResearchData and TU Delft Digital Competence Centre
To enhance the reproducibility of scientific publications by TU Delft researchers, the TU Delft Digital Competence Centre (DCC) has partnered with the 4TU.ResearchData repository to pilot the offering of CODECHECKs as a service. Authors who deposit software publications at 4TU.ResearchData are individually invited to have their code CODECHECKed. In accordance with CODECHECK principles, authors are expected to provide openly available data, a peer-reviewed publication or preprint, and clear instructions for running the code. Using this information, the DCC conducts the CODECHECK and contacts authors if clarification is needed. Once the CODECHECK is successfully completed and a certificate is issued, a “Code Works” badge is added to the software publication’s landing page at 4TU.ResearchData (see example), along with a link to the associated certificate publication.

Together, Amsterdam UMC and the TU Delft DCC study which factors cause issues during their CODECHECKs in the NWO-funded project Advancing reproducible research by assessing core software quality indicators in CODECHECK.
Amsterdam University Medical Centers (Amsterdam UMC)
The Research Data Management (RDM) department of Amsterdam UMC currently offers CODECHECK as a pilot service. This service focusses on computational workflows in R and/or Python, based on pre-prints or manuscripts ready for submission. It is available to all research staff from Amsterdam UMC, including PhD candidates. While metadata should be made publicly available, we encourage researchers — in the interest of open science — to also make their data openly accessible whenever possible. CODECHECK requests can be made via ServiceNow, RDM Research Software Management.

University of Twente DCC
To enhance the reproducibility of scientific publications by researchers at the University of Twente (UT), the UT Digital Competence Centre joins efforts with 4TU.ResearchData, TU Delft DCC, OSC-Twente, and CodeCheck to offer Reproducibility Checks.
We invite you to explore our website which, provides all the information to prepare and get your CODECHECK certificate. We encourage you to get in contact, even if you believe that your code is not ready, we will support you to get ready.

Former institutions
ITC
Open Science @ ITC provided CODECHECKs for their members. ITC is the University of Twente’s Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation. The checks at ITC were discontinued in 2023.
