@forrt.bsky.social Replication Hub at @improvingpsych.org: Yesterday, Neele Kolber presented how we created the diamond open access journal @r2journal.bsky.social together with the community and Sophie Schüller gave an overview of #FLoRA tools, all now available at forrt.org/replication-hub

🔖 Now up on MetaROR: a full evaluation of the Handbook for Reproduction and Replication Studies, which enables researchers to conduct high-quality reproductions & replications across social science disciplines. Reviewers praised it as timely & useful while providing recommendations. Read it now 👇

If you have conducted a replication that has been part of a large-scale project, you can submit it to @r2journal.bsky.social.

Who do you review for? Should you boycott commercial publishers? Should you boycott specific publishers? Does it matter for your career? We are orgainizing a one-hour session with lightning talks and an open discussion. Join us on May 26th 12-13 CEST online. Registration at t1p.de/wdirf

Introducing the #ReplicationAtlas: The FLoRA (FORRT Library of Reproduction and Replication Attempts) lets you browser over two thousand (!) pairs of original and replication studies. Search by DOIs/keywords and find out about replications from your field, maybe even replications of your own work.

Announcing the Replication Journal Federation (RJF)! Born from Love Replications Week, RJF unites Diamond OA & not-for-profit journals to champion rigorous, transparent replication research. 🔗 forrt.org/rjf/ 🧵 1/3

If this works? We already made this work years ago: forrt.org/annotator/ based on our FLoRA and FReD databases and we are working on a browser plug-in that lets you do just that, @lukaswallrich.bsky.social @josefinaw.bsky.social

Replication in the wild: "Independent replication should not inherently be considered an attack on prior work or those who authored it. It is quite literally the process of how science advances." doi.org/10.1080/2055...

"One subject spent 70 hours learning lists and relearning them after 20 min, 1 hour, 9 hours, 1 day, 2 days, or 31 days." My replication of the day is a successful one of Ebbinghaus’ classic forgetting curve from 1880 (doi.org/10.1371/jour...) Just entered into FLoRA via forrt.org/replication-...

how I feel when open science initiatives choose to publish in Nature

About half of the 164 SCORE replications including outcomes are already listed in #FLoRA with the others following soon. So does these affect studies that you cite? Find out with our FLoRA Annotator (forrt.org/annotator) or our Replication Checker plugin for Zotero: forrt.org/flora_zotero/

Shortly before I started my PhD, Nosek's talk about the Reproducibility Project Psychology at @dgps.bsky.social conference 2016 in Leipzig set me on the path of open science and replicability. I am proud to have played a tiny role in this project.

@zeit.de going full clickbait and doing a terrible job at science communication: - framing replications as checks for "botchering" - hiding behind a paywall the fact that replications are not about discovering botchering

Don't miss out on new replications with the Zotero Replication Checker! This is the current set of >1.6K studies in the FORRT Library of Replication Attempts (#FLoRA). Many of them belong to large-scale projects and are not even cited in the final report, so how to keep track of them?

People have played over 1500 rounds of Tenure Run in the past week. It is beyond me how Major_Revisions achieved 196 publications. How far can you make it? Play now at forrt.org/TenureRun/ And then go sign #SFDORA if you haven't done so already: sfdora.org/sign/individ...

-- New Open Research Game -- I reached the rank of Asst. Prof in #TenureRun! 🎓 I published 98 papers and paid $115.000 in APCs to publishers. My grant money is gone and I am exhausted. 💸 How far can you make it? Play now at forrt.org/TenureRun/

>5h recordings and slides for most #LoveReplicationsWeek talks are now available on our updated website. Thank you so much everybody who contributed to this wonderful week, participated in the talks, and partnered-up with us. I think there should be a replication of this. forrt.org/LoveReplicat...

@uni-muenster.de just signed @dorassessment.bsky.social and @barcelonadori.bsky.social! “Freely accessible knowledge and transparent scientific processes are a cornerstone of responsible science and of public trust in research and innovation” German PR: www.uni-muenster.de/news/view.ph...

Of course I got a randomly generated replication title: W. Tanaka, S. Okafor, and T. Rossi (2024). "Is the Effect of Meal Kit Delivery Services on Tax Compliance Exogenous? A Replication Study." Journal of Suspiciously Clean Data. Working Paper No. 96201.

We are happy to announce the Best Article Award for 2025. This paper examines the impact of papers meant to help reassess previously published papers. These findings are important for our discipline to understand. Congrats to @jrgptrs.bsky.social, Nathan, and Florian! doi.org/10.1111/ecin...

If anyone is interested in a journal leadership position, there is a call for editor-in-chief for the Journal of Open Psychology Data: openpsychologydata.metajnl.com/announcements. I'm on the board, so I'm happy to chat to anyone or put your in touch with others!

Among other things, we developed an 🚦Authorship Guideline and a 📝Supervision Agreement to support student authorship and spark early conversations about credit and contributions! And we're currently evaluating the impact that these tools had at our department. 📊

Oh my goodness. Shut me down. Machines making machines?

Just in case it takes me another 3 years to get back to this, here are preliminary & exploratory (!) results from #zcurve using #FReD2.0. Expected Replicability Rate (ERR) is overestimated in most cases. Creating samples where the actual replicability rate (RR) is 0 reveals a strong overestimation.

The most downloaded paper on EconStor in Feb. 2026 was: "Briggs, Ryan C.; Mellon, Jonathan; Arel-Bundock, Vincent (2026) : It must be very hard to publish null results, I4R Discussion Paper Series, No. 281, Institute for Replication (I4R), s.l." hdl.handle.net/10419/336819 @i4replication.bsky.social

Very exciting survey about awareness of open science practices with breakdowns by field, career status, and region: osf.io/preprints/ps...

#openpeerreview cheatsheet: There are lots of ways to open up peer review (e.g.,via publish-review-curate) but since I often hear people discuss open peer review, here is a quick reminder of different dimensions of what this refer to: publication, anonymity, or inclusivity

The #LoveReplicationsWeek has concluded. Thank you to the 19 speakers and 162 participants! We hope that you could get a glimpse of the amount of love that there is for replications and reproductions. Website: forrt.org/LoveReplicat... Slides: zenodo.org/communities/...

We have two more events for the last day of the #LoveReplicationsWeek! - @susanne-adler.bsky.social will talk about how to do replications together with students - Nina Ehmann will run a workshop on doing a reanalysis that can subsequently be submitted to the Journal of Robustness Reports

We occasionally discuss whether and where to publish FReD 2.0 and FLoRA. While I wish JOPD was Diamond OA, it still looks much better to me than Nature Scientific Data. Also, papers with >100 authors don't need expensive journals to gain visibility but they should support community-owned journals.

It's FReD Friday AND #LoveReplicationsWeek, so here is a recap of what has been going on with the FORRT Replication Database. In 2024, we published the paper on our dataset with 99 (!) authors. But this was only the beginning. doi.org/10.5334/jopd.101

@jorowags.bsky.social & @lililazarevic.bsky.social are now presenting the Collaborative Replication and Education Project (CREP). At CREP, students are supervised and conduct direct replications that are then published as data or reports: www.crep-psych.org

Welcome to #LoveReplicationsWeek Day 4 - with 4 events! - Getting your replication report ready by @r2journal.bsky.social - Large scale replications vs. Meta-analyses by @chbergma.bsky.social - CREP by @jorowags.bsky.social - Writing Reproducible Manuscripts by @mklingelhoeferj.bsky.social

⏳ 2 weeks left to apply to the Making Replications Count Hackathon (Münster, 4–6 May 2026). Join us to build open tools that make replications impossible to ignore. Apply by 16 March: indico.uni-muenster.de/e/marco2

Welcome to day 3 of #LoveReplicationsWeek! Today's lunch talk is by @lukaswallrich.bsky.social on finding a target study to replicate featuring some of our free tools

Welcome to day 2 of #LoveReplicationsWeek! I'll be posting here about today's talks. - You can still register for upcoming events: forrt.org/LoveReplicat... - We try to make all slides publicly available on Zenodo: zenodo.org/communities/...

It's #LoveReplicationsWeek! I'll be posting impressions from the talks all week here. >> You can still sign up for talks since we are sending out invites on the morning for new registrations. forrt.org/LoveReplicat... >> Slides will be shared in our Zenodo Community: zenodo.org/communities/...

Love Replications Week is next week: 2-6 March 2026! 🩷 There are short lunchtime talks and longer talks and workshops. I'll be presenting on "Reproducibility in the language sciences: What, why and how" together with Mara van der Ploeg from TROLLing on […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

Replication Research (R2), a 🆕 community-led Diamond OA journal, makes replication studies more discoverable, publishable & rigorously evaluated—without subscription barriers or author fees. Ahead of #LoveReplicationsWeek, R2's senior editors shared their vision in our Q&A:

We ♥ Replications! The OSC is excited to be a partner in the upcoming LOVE REPLICATIONS WEEK 2026: an online event where you can learn about doing reproduction and replication studies 📚 When? Next week! March 2-6, 2026 Find out more about the program and register here: forrt.org/LoveReplicat...

I'm interested in opinions on conference submissions of projects with lots of authors: Should I mention all (if permitted by the form), should there be a consortial authorship ("The ... Collaboration"), or should only the presenter (and supervisor?) be named? @dgps.bsky.social @improvingpsych.org

You can still contribute events to the Love Replications Week. We are now at 12 events and gained another strong partner with @cos.io.

Apparently, there is still funding left in academia even though Springer Nature made $489 million profits off of it in 2024. And now they are telling researchers what great news that is. Let me fix this for you... (inspired by arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820) #springernature #closedscience

Save the Date: International #OpenAccess Week will be October 19-25, 2026. #OAWeek is an opportunity to join together, take action & raise awareness of the benefits of openly sharing knowledge. www.openaccessweek.org

We are now a partner journal of @metaror.bsky.social, @jcre.bsky.social, and The Tromsø Repository of Language and Linguistics (TROLLing). Read the full announcement here: www.uni-muenster.de/Ejournals/in...
