\begin{equation}  FF = N*(L^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{N}}}-1)  \end{equation}  Where N is the number of forks on your work and L their median length. In order to take into account the reproducibility of research data, the length of forks has a higher weigh weight  in the FF formula. Indeed, forks with length equal to one likely represent a failure to reproduce the forked research datum. Anyone out there care to improve the formula above or help us collect some data and test this out? Let us know at \verb|[email protected]| or by commenting here. above?  For instance, would it be better if the FF would reach a plateau for L > 3 ?
