We constructed a survey to understand how authors and scientists view the issues around reproducibility, focusing on interactive elements such as interactive figures embedded within online publications, as a solution for enabling the reproducibility of experiments. We report the views of 251 researchers, comprising authors who have published in eLIFE Sciences, and those who work at the Norwich Biosciences Institutes (NBI). The survey also outlines to what extent researchers are occupied with reproducing experiments themselves. Currently, there is an increasing range of tools that attempt to address the production of reproducible research by making code, data, and analyses available to the community for reuse. We wanted to collect information about attitudes around the consumer end of the spectrum, where life scientists interact with research outputs to interpret scientific results. Static plots and figures within articles are a central part of this interpretation, and therefore we asked respondents to consider various features for an interactive figure within a research article that would allow them to better understand and reproduce a published analysis. The majority (91%) of respondents reported that when authors describe their research methodology (methods and analyses) in detail, published research can become more reproducible. The respondents believe that having interactive figures in published papers is a beneficial element to themselves, the papers they read as well as to their readers. Whilst interactive figures are one potential solution for consuming the results of research more effectively to enable reproducibility, we also review the equally pressing technical and cultural demands on researchers that need to be addressed to achieve greater success in reproducibility in the life sciences.

生命科学家对期刊文章中可重复性的知识和态度：一项研究调查。

我们进行了一项调查，以了解作者和科学家如何看待围绕可再现性的问题，并将重点放在交互式元素（例如嵌入在线出版物中的交互式图形）作为实现实验可再现性的解决方案。我们报告了251位研究人员的观点，其中包括在eLIFE Sciences中发表的作者以及在Norwich Biosciences Institutes（NBI）工作的人员。该调查还概述了研究人员自己在多大程度上从事复制实验。当前，越来越多的工具试图通过将代码，数据和分析提供给社区以供重复使用来解决可重复研究的产生。我们想收集有关消费者群体态度的信息，生命科学家与研究成果互动以解释科学成果的地方。文章中的静态图解和图形是这种解释的核心部分，因此，我们要求受访者考虑研究文章中交互式图形的各种功能，以使他们能够更好地理解和复制已发表的分析。绝大多数（91％）的受访者表示，当作者详细描述他们的研究方法（方法和分析）时，已发表的研究可变得更具可重复性。受访者认为，在已发表论文中使用互动数字对自己，阅读论文以及读者都是有益的。互动图形是一种可以更有效地利用研究结果以实现可重复性的潜在解决方案，
