Promoting reproducibility-by-design in statistical offices

This paper emphasizes the need for Official Statistics to go beyond current practice and exceed the limits of the National Statistical Offices and the European Statistical System to reach and engage with produsers – e.g. statisticians, scientists and citizens. Through the adoption of some best practices derived from the Open Source Software community and the integration of modern technological solutions, the "Shared, Transparent, Auditable, Trusted, Participative, Reproducible, and Open" principles can help create new participatory models of knowledge and information production.
