Code Sharing Is Associated with Research Impact in Image Processing

In computational sciences such as image processing, publishing usually isn't enough to allow other researchers to verify results, so supplementary materials such as source code and measurement data are required.

Abstract

In computational sciences such as image processing, publishing usually isn’t enough to allow other researchers to verify results. Often, supplementary materials such as source code and measurement data are required. Yet most researchers choose not to make their code available because of the extra time required to prepare it. Are such efforts actually worthwhile, though?
