[From the article “Q&A Adam Russell: Can automated tools reliably rate research reproducibility?” by Dalmeet Singh Chawla, published at natureindex.com]
“Recently the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) solicited research proposals on developing automated tools that assign confidence levels to published research, as part of its ‘Systematizing Confidence in Open Research and Evidence’ (SCORE) initiative. Anthropologist Adam Russell, currently a programme manager at the agency, spoke to Dalmeet Singh Chawla about the project.”
