Anne Fouilloux is the CTO of LifeWatch ERIC, founder of VitenHub AS, and a research
software engineer with 25+ years of experience in scientific computing and open,
reproducible research. She works at the intersection of FAIR data, research-software engineering, and the open scientific-Python ecosystem — Pangeo, and Galaxy — with a focus on
reproducible Earth-system and biodiversity science. Her current work turns research claims
into FAIR, citable, machine-readable nanopublications, and builds tooling that helps
researchers run rigorous, reproducible replications. ORCID: 0000-0002-1784-2920

30 replications later: the failure modes nobody reports and how to make replications FAIR and citable
Anne fouilloux, Jean Iaquinta

We don't replicate whole papers — we replicate claims. Over the past year we targeted
more than thirty specific published claims across ecology, biodiversity, and climate,
rebuilding each as a self-contained, FAIR-by-construction replication you can fork from
an open template. This talk shares the failure modes we hit again and again — silent
data-substrate bias, results that hold only under specific priors, hidden train/test
leakage — and how to catch them. Then it shows how we make each replication count:
every finding, the software behind it, and even the FAIR rules of the domain are
published as nanopublications — small, single-claim, verifiable units — turning one-off
notebooks into a citable, AI-discoverable graph of reproduction evidence you can
actually trust, with no hallucinated references.
