Dear Fellow Researchers,
Need your advise on the following -
1. I wanted to know may journals like below ask for a code submission. I wanted to know if papers get rejected without submitting the source code : https://www.springer.com/journal/10614/submission-guidelines
I am comfortable submitting the data not comfortable submitting the code as I do not want to make it public unless really required.
2. Also, Do the editors try to run the code to replicate the work?
example - I have take a mean of the values of RMSE, MAPE etc over 50 runs of 100 iterations each. Will they try to run it ? If so, do they also look at the code quality etc and do i need to optimize my code further for making it more readable ?
Regards,
Bhaskar
