The Journal Replicability Tracker

Historically, replications have been difficult to publish in journals. This living report is to keep track of where (and if) replications are published, what journals published replication targets, and which journals adhere to the pottery barn rule. This report dynamically connects to the FORRT Library of Reproduction and Replication Attempts (FLoRA) to provide an up-to-date overview of replication outcomes across academic journals.

Publishers of Replications

Caveat: While it is the aim to be comprehensive, FLoRA does not yet contain all replications in existence.

Which journals are actively publishing replication attempts? The chart below highlights the top publishers. To prevent large-scale replication projects from skewing the results, multiple replications published within the same article (identified by DOI) are aggregated and counted as a single publication.

The chart displays the Top 10 journals by default. "Not published in a journal" means that the replication has not yet been published. Scroll your mouse wheel inside the bordered box to pan down the list of journals without scrolling the page.

Targets of Replications

Conversely, which journals originally published the studies that are being replicated? A high number here indicates that many articles from this journal have been subject to replication attempts. Ideally, many studies from journals get replicated successfully.

The Pottery Barn Rule

Sanjay Srivastava suggested that if a journal publishes a study, it should also publish all subsequent replication attempts - similar to the pottery barn rule "you break it - you buy it" (https://thehardestscience.com/2012/09/27/a-pottery-barn-rule-for-scientific-journals). This plot shows for each journal the number of replications that repeated studies from the journal versus the total number of replications that targeted that journal.
