Abstract

BACKGROUND: Inconsistencies in survey-based (eg, questionnaire) data collection across biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences pose challenges to research reproducibility. ReproSchema is an ecosystem that standardizes survey design and facilitates reproducible data collection through a schema-centric framework, a library of reusable assessments, and computational tools for validation…
