In our editorial launching the new Reproducible Research Track in CiSE \citep*{Barba_2017} , we promised to explore innovations to the peer-review process. Because we require articles submitted to this track to adhere to practices that safeguard reproducibility, we must review for these aspects deliberately. For each submission, a reproducibility reviewer will be charged with checking availability, quality and usability of digital artifacts (data, code, figures). This reviewer (sometimes one of the track editors) will be known to the authors, and may interact with the authors during the review—for example, opening issues on a code repository. For this service, we ask that the authors recognize the reviewer in the article's acknowledgements section.

The social and organizational history of humanity is intricately entangled with the history of technology in general and the technology of information in particular. Advances in this area have often been closely involved in social and political transformations. While the contemporary period is often referred to by such names as the Computing and Information Age, this is the culmination of a series of historical transformations that have been centuries in the making. This course will provide a venue for students to learn about history through the evolution of number systems and arithmetic, calculating and computing machines, and advanced communication technology via the Internet. Students who take this course will attain a degree of technological literacy while studying core historical concepts. Students who complete this course will learn the key vocabulary of the computing discipline, which is playing a significant role in modern human thought and new media communications. The History of Computing will be organized around the historical perspective. The relationships between social organization, intellectual climate, and technology will be examined and stressed.
