Notice: The reproducibility variables underlying each score are classified using an automated LLM-based pipeline, validated against a manually labeled dataset. LLM-based classification introduces uncertainty and potential bias; scores should be interpreted as estimates. Full accuracy metrics and methodology are described in Coakley et alK. L. Coakley, T. Snelleman, H. Hoos, and O. E. Gundersen, "The embrace of open science: An analysis of a decade of AI research and 56 800 conference papers," Under Review, 2026..

| Research Type | Experimental | In this section, we conduct experiments to measure the predictability of popular voting rules in the average case. We consider profiles σn with n = 1, 000 voters and m = 5 alternatives. We use two distributions to draw i.i.d. rankings in σn: the Mallows model with ϕ = 1/3 (in short, Mallows distribution ) and the uniform distribution. |
