The current controversy surrounding research replication in biomedical and psychosocial sciences often overlooks the uncertainties surrounding both the original and replication studies. Overemphasizing single attempts as definitive replication …
We present a framework designed to help academic institutions and departments rethink and reform academic assessments - including tenure and promotion evaluations - using a values-based approach. For each of the 14 values included, we outline some …

untrustworthy research. This paper uses Chang’s concept of epistemic …
There has been much debate in recent years about how open research practices, which have been promoted in efforts to improve research robustness, may (not) be appropriate for qualitative methodologies, particularly in educational research. Among …
The social sciences continue to move towards more open and transparent research practices. However, these changes have been driven by researchers outside of management and organisational studies and are primarily designed with quantitative methods in …
In their article ‘Self-correction in science: The diagnostic and integrative motives for replication‘, David Peterson and Aaron Panofsky (2021) distinguish two kinds of replication: diagnostic and integrative replication. In this blog post we discuss …
Map of open and internationally relevant open science capacity building and training modules to support the implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science
We investigated recent meta-research studies on adherence to four reporting guidelines to determine the proportion that provided (1) an explanation for how adherence to guideline items was rated and (2) results from all included individual studies. …
Social psychology findings have fared poorly in multi-site replication attempts. This article considers and evaluates multiple factors that may contribute to such failures, other than the “crisis” assumption that most of the field’s published …
The scientific research enterprise is built on a foundation of trust. Scientists trust that the results reported by others are valid. Society trusts that the results of research reflect an honest attempt by scientists to describe the world accurately …
