This article examines a cross-section of literature and other resources to reveal common reproducibility issues faced by stakeholders regardless of subject area or focus. We identify a variety of issues named as reproducibility barriers, the solutions to such barriers, and reflect on how researchers and information professionals can act to address the ‘reproducibility crisis.’ The finished products of this work include an annotated list of 122 published resources and a primer that identifies and defines key concepts from the resources that contribute to the crisis.

 Non-compliance with requirements by staff and funding recipients will result in penalties; policies will evolve over time. Authors of peer-reviewed scholarly publications are required to submit to the NIST public access archive system metadata and their copies of final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts within the scope of this plan once the manuscript is accepted for publication. In lieu of the author's version of the final peer-reviewed manuscript, NIST will also accept the final published article, as formatted by the journal, provided the author has the right to submit the published version. NIST's plan further requires that the final manuscript, which has been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication, be freely available to the public no later than 12 months following publication. 5. AUTHORITY NIST's authority to require broad public access to the results of federally funded research stems from multiple sources, including, but not necessarily limited to, those below.
