    abstract = "Assessing and improving the reproducibility of human evaluation studies is an ongoing concern in the area of natural language processing. As a contribution to this effort and a part of the ReproHum reproducibility project, we describe the reproduction of a human evaluation study (Hosking and Lapata, 2021) that evaluates meaning preservation in question paraphrasing systems.Our results indicate that the original study is highly reproducible given additional material and information provided by the authors. However, we also identify some aspects of the study that may make the annotation task potentially much easier than those in comparable studies. This might limit the representativeness of these results for best-practices in study design."
