Launched as a community-led Diamond Open Access journal, Replication Research (R2) makes replication studies more discoverable, publishable, and rigorously evaluated—without subscription barriers or author fees. Ahead of Love Replications Week (March 2-6), COS spoke with senior editors Flavio Azevedo, Lukas Wallrich, and Lukas Röseler about the vision behind R2.
