# An invitation to reproducible computational research

David L. Donoho  
_Biostatistics_ , Volume 11, Issue 3, July 2010, Pages 385–388, [https://doi.org/10.1093/biostatistics/kxq028](https://doi.org/10.1093/biostatistics/kxq028)  
cites the so-called reproducible research repository ([http://rr.epfl.ch/](http://rr.epfl.ch/)).  
Problem is: this repository apparently no longer exists. ☹  
So much for reproducibility…

It’s probably just down. Keeping a dynamic website up continuously is not easy.
