### Where should the chapter on credit for reproducible research go

The chapter on "Credit for reproducible research" could be moved higher up in the book and set up to really make clear that you *can* get credit for reproducible research. It could maybe be included with some of the information that Kirstie has in her "Barriers to reproducible research" slide.

Another angle is to include some "myths" of reproducible research and "bust" them :smile:

You can get credit for doing science reproducibly! Some funders and publishers are looking for it. There are lots of skills that you get, that make your research easier in the short-ish term, and that transfer easily eg to jobs outside of academia.

We could add some interviews/comments with community members explaining why *they* do reproducible research :raised_hands:
