Reflective equilibrium is overdue a twenty-first century update. Despite its apparent popularity, there is scant evidence that theorists ever thoroughly implement the method, and fewer still openly and transparently publish their attempts to do so in print—stymying its supposed justificatory value. This paper proposes digitising reflective equilibrium as a solution. Inspired by the global open science movement, it advocates for coupling a novel, digital implementation of the equilibrating process with new publication norms that can capitalise on the inherent reproducibility of digital data. The argument is structured around three main claims: that digitising will make it easier to (a) methodically construct, (b) widely disseminate, and (c) thoroughly critique reflective equilibria. Practical guidance is also provided throughout. Altogether, it is argued that digitisation will not only help theorists to better realise reflective equilibrium’s latent theoretical potential, but also greatly extend its value as a justificatory device in contemporary academic discourses.

反思平衡早该在二十一世纪进行更新。尽管它显然很受欢迎，但很少有证据表明理论家彻底实施了该方法，而且公开透明地以印刷品发表他们的尝试的人也更少，这阻碍了其所谓的合理价值。本文提出数字化反射平衡作为解决方案。受全球开放科学运动的启发，它主张将平衡过程的新颖数字实施与新的出版规范结合起来，以利用数字数据固有的可重复性。该论点围绕三个主要主张：数字化将使（a）有条不紊地构建，（b）广泛传播，以及（c）彻底批判反思均衡变得更容易。全文还提供了实用指导。共，
