We always knew the Hunger Games were about the US in the future, but the Patriot Games are bringing it way closer to the present than we thought. Yikes.

Time for #ReplicationGames in Münster🇩🇪! 60 researchers will be reproducing papers in top social science journals, spanning topics from early childhood health to evasive language. #openscience #reproducibility

Together w/ @odissei.bsky.social, I4R is organizing CBS Replication Games, re-analyzing 6 papers w/ Dutch administrative microdata! Teams get 1 month of microdata access in Feb 2026, meeting in Utrecht for a three-day hackathon. Interested? Register by Nov 30! tinyurl.com/yx3e7b3a

📢 We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new “Research Fellows” program! 🎉 If you’ve contributed to a Replication Game, published in our Discussion Papers series, or helped organize one of our events — you’re invited to join the roster of I4R Research Fellows.

Join us for the upcoming CBS Replication Games! There is still time to apply :)

It was a pleasure, @ukrepro.bsky.social ! A lot of good research got done at the UKRN Replication Games; many thanks to all the amazing researchers :)

University librarian made my Monday: [I am getting an econometrics textbook] "Do you know that we have non-academic books too? From the theology collection we have Monty Python."😆

#GDRI_rep Update 9: We have been waiting a couple of months to make two announcements. A few journals were in the process of retracting GDRI article. The editors informed the authors and then lawyers got involved. Who knows how long it will take.

So many interesting folks at the #NOSF2025 in Groningen🤩 Great to see people interested in open science😊

Join us for the virtual Replication Games😍🤓 on Nov 13th! (You don't have to be in the UK - join us from wherever you are😉)

There is still time to apply, join us! #econsky

We are hiring! Join a strong team to have a real impact on how science is done😊 #econsky

🚨I4R is looking to hire postdoc fellows in public health and computer science! The postdoc will join a team of researchers and help mass reproduce studies in leading public health journals or develop AI replicator agents. Info 👇

Come joun us in Münster, it will be awesome😉😎

I4R Replication Games coming to Münster! @i4replication.bsky.social @aufdroeseler.bsky.social @fialalenka.bsky.social

1/ The Vertical & Horizontal AI Replication Games debut at the University of Ottawa on Oct 16! This is the first event feeding into our next paper, and all participants will be listed as coauthors. Apply: www.surveymonkey.ca/r/TKRS5HG

The Brno Replication Games were a success!🥳 Many thanks to our awesome replicators who spotted a range of coding errors and fixed incorrectly specified models. Many thanks also to @econmuni.bsky.social for having us: you are the reason economists love coming back every year😊

Off to the #BrnoReplicationGames at @econmuni.bsky.social, it's going to be epic!

🚨 We have a comment on Begum et al (2018) forthcoming in @readdemography.bsky.social - see link below! @i4replication.bsky.social

#GDRI_rep Update 8a: Major updates coming up over the next few weeks. 1st update: We reproduced "Parent–teacher meetings and student outcomes" some time ago. The paper was then retracted by the editors of the Euro Econ Rev. Additional studies are connected (see diagram) 🧵

Only a one week left left to register to the Brno Replication Games on Sept 7th. Virtual participation is possible and coauthorship to a meta paper is granted. Register here: www.surveymonkey.ca/r/Replicatio...

Cool event reminder! Please note we now have a number of €200 awards for PhD students travelling to Galway to participate. If you wish to be considered for an award, please get in touch (contact details at end of Matthew’s thread). Reposts welcome! Cc: @i4replication.bsky.social

The Tilburg Replication Games were a success! Many thanks to the replicators for making it a great event. 😊

ESA econ folks, join us! It's going to be a ton of fun, Brno always delivers :)

There have been a number of recent articles on statistical power in quantitative political science. This is something that I think deserves more attention and discussion. A short thread of the articles I have read. 🧵

Final call for the Tilburg Replication Games! Are you a social scientist who is interested in replicability/reproducibility, and open science? Do you want to contribute to a large-scale meta analysis and become a co-author? Then sign up today! Online and in-person participation are possible.

Come join us in Tilburg! #reproducibility #openscience #econsky

So Science retracted the arsenic life paper because it was wrong? If that's the new standard for retraction, I think they've got a lot of work ahead of them

We have 8 replication games over the next 13 weeks (Tilburg, Bordeaux, Brno, Galway, Berlin, Paris, Lyon and Ottawa)! Not too late to register to any of these events: i4replication.org/games.html

;)

Replication Games in Amsterdam today! We will have 8 teams replicating papers from top social science journals. Many thanks to @jackfitzgerald.bsky.social, our local organizer. #I4R

Only a few days left to register to the Amsterdam Replication Games on July 19. Virtual participation is possible and coauthorship to a meta paper is granted. Register: www.surveymonkey.ca/r/Replicatio...

Join us @rwi.bsky.social & @i4replication.bsky.social as replicator for a meta-reproduction on deforestation. We pay replicators 2,500 EUR. Experience with geocoded data & background in environmental science are assets. 1/2 bit.ly/4ke2p6o

I really recommend this podcast episode on the story of this paper and the strange non-responses from the journal. A depressing case of how science fails to be self-correcting even in the face of extremely obvious errors. open.spotify.com/episode/4Eo0...

Here’s a New York Times photo of the Chicago “No Kings” rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.

Christ's sake, Chicago, I'm just trying to go for a walk.

Thanks for the great comments, #CEA😊🇨🇦

GiveWell sought an independent check on the evidence supporting >$1 billion it has granted to its top charities. This fall, Alex Cohen asked whether we could obtain the datasets needed to reproduce the underlying RCTs. We said yes; charging only a modest fee to cover our time. 🧵 + 🐀 + blog post!
