This paper introduces ENCORE, a practical approach to enhance the reproducibility and transparency of computational research. ENCORE addresses the reproducibility crisis by providing a standardized file system structure, pre-defined documentation templates, GitHub integration for version control, and an HTML-based navigator. The approach is agnostic to project type, data, programming language, and infrastructure. The authors share their experience using ENCORE, highlighting that the biggest challenge to widespread adoption is the lack of incentives for researchers to invest the necessary time and effort.
