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

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...

Ok researchers rise and shine, it's groundhog day - what better way to get you up to date with what has been going on at the FORRT Replication Hub? forrt.org/replication-...

Join us for the LOVE REPLICATIONS WEEK from March 2 - 6 with talks on reproductions, replications, how to find them, how to conduct them, how to have them conducted on your study, where to publish them, and much more!

About one new replication gets published every day. If only there was a way to keep track of them all... Here are a few random picks from January 2026:

For the last #ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas session of the winter semester on THURSDAY, we are delighted to welcome @aufdroeseler from the Münster Center for Open Science to discuss "Why and how to repeat research". Lukas is editor-in-chief of the newly […] [Original post on fediscience.org]

The mismeasure of productivity "confuses the production of incidental artefacts—peer reviews, grant proposals and scientific papers—with advances in science itself. Papers are not the products of scientific research in the same way that castings are the products of a foundry."

🚀 Making Replications Count Hackathon - in-person 🚀 Apply by 16 March: indico.uni-muenster.de/e/marco2 #OpenScience #Metascience #Replication #Hackathon #CodingForScience

I'll be giving a short talk at the Cologne ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas on Thursday about why and how you should repeat research. Participation is possible online and offline: www.uni-koeln.de/en/universit... And there will be Legos...

Episode 2 of my trilogy on building replication packages for social scientists is now out! i4replication.org/a-researcher... 😉

@forrt.bsky.social and the Münster Center for Open Science are organizing a Love Replications Week this year. Get in touch if you would like to contribute with tutorials, case studies, or discussions surrounding #reproductions and #replications! The full program will be announced soon!

I am very proud to have published my second file-drawer report at my favourite journal Meta-Psychology together with Lisa Incerti, @tobiasrebholz.bsky.social, Christian Seida, and Frank Papenmeier. It includes four failed attempts to confirm a new hypothesis on #anchoringeffects.

I made a mistake: A researcher who re-used our dataset noticed an inconsistency. We corrected multiple errors and requested a correction at the journal. - Article: doi.org/10.5964/ejop... - Corrected version: osf.io/sz5b9/files/... Luckily, none of the conclusions were affected.

At R2, we take both quality assessment and transparency seriously. This is why we do not only publish peer review reports and reproducibility certificates for all articles but also conduct thorough initial checks. They are done by the EiC and an editorial assisstant before peer review.

These are all the 42 papers Google Scholar has found citing "our" paper that we never wrote - who knows how much actual human touch went into them? scholar.google.com.vn/scholar?star...

Modern academic publishing part II: Sage has now blocked my (university) IP address because I have had a tab open for >4 hours since my license does not allow downloading. I now have to write my colleagues an email so that I can read papers that they are already paying an annual fee of ~100K€ for.
