(Re)Use of Research Results (Is Rampant): Prior pessimism about reuse in software engineering research may have been a result of using the wrong methods to measure the wrong things.

This article discusses the reuse of research results in the field of software engineering and how it can be quantified to indicate the health of the field overall. Topics include how the authors generated and applied their reuse graphs to published research in software engineering and the value of these graphs. The authors ask the software engineering community to use open source tools and work within the community to share artifacts from published research to allow for reproduction of research results.
