Welcome to day 3 of #LoveReplicationsWeek! Today's lunch talk is by @lukaswallrich on finding a target study to replicate featuring some of our free tools
In his talk, he is focusing on four different facets that can motivate replications. The slides are already available at: https://zenodo.org/records/18808379
Very interesting take on the feasibility trade-off: Should you rather replicate a study that is easy to replicate (open materials)?
Next up is the Replication Journal Showcase featuring six journals that focus on replications:
- Rescience C
- Rescience X
- Journal of Comments and Replications in Economics
- Journal of Robustness Reports
- Journal of Open Psychology Data (verification reports)
- and of course @replicationresearch
There will be a short presentation from each journal plus room for questions. For an overview of the different scopes, see our handbook: https://forrt.org/replication_handbook/publishing.html#tbl-rep-journals
Rescience C is for reproduction studies in computational sciences
- Submissions can come from all domains
- It has open and non-anonymous review
- Since 2020, self-reproductions are allowed - provided they are at least 10 years old
- It lives on Github: https://rescience.github.io
The Journal of Comments and Replications in Economics @jcre.bsky.social is maintained by the @zbw-leibniz.bsky.social , the world's largest subject library in economics
- They accept reproductions, replications and comments and usually publish articles from empirical quantitative econ
- https://jcr-econ.org
The Journal of Robustness Reports was launched last year and has its origin in many-analysts studies:
- they publish reanalysis snapshots from already-published findings
- at least 2 independent reports are required
- you can nominate target articles
- www.journalofrobustnessreports.org
The Journal of Open Psychology Data has a special format
- JOPD has open reviews and focuses on psychology
- apart from data papers, they also accept 'verification reports': registered reports of reanalyses (robustness reproductions)
- they offer mentoring for ECRs
- openpsychologydata.metajnl.com
Finally, there is Replication Research (R2) @r2journal.bsky.social
- it was founded last fall and is part of the FORRT Replication Hub, a collection of projects that serve the aim to support replications
- R2 accepts reproductions, replications, and conceptual contributions from all fields
