Many causes contribute to this lack of reproducibility such as a lack of rigour in data management and analysis. The extensive problem related to improper research management has urged scientists to consider developing efficient Data Management Plans (DMP) for their research projects, which are now part of the requirements from funding agencies such as the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNFS) and the European Commission.</span></pre>
