Project Spotlight:
Replication Hub
The Project
To make replication research more visible and more rewarding, we have been creating resources to help:
(1) searching for replications
(2) conducting replication research, and
(3) publishing replications
We curate the world’s largest database for replication studies, including multiple interfaces and tools, guidelines and templates to facilitate replication research, and a WIP publication platform. Check out the website for up-to-date information.
Get involved
Paid opportunity
Thanks to a partnership with the Center for Open Science (COS), we can now offer a paid opportunity to record replications from original papers across disciplines:
- We are seeking individuals interested in systematically recording replication entries from original papers to expand and validate FReD. Individuals need to be available for around 100 hours in the next 2 to 3 months. If you are interested, please check out the FReD role requirements.

Description
|
|
Code a single
replication
for FReD
|
Less than one hour
|
The FORRT Replication Database (FReD) is one of the world’s largest database with replication findings. This is only possible due to the contributions of more than one hundred researchers. We are continually looking for further researchers to complete existing entries or to add new ones.
Instructions: Coding_FReD.docx

|
Test the Standardized Replication Template (StaRT)
|
A few hours
|
We have been developing a template that allows for a quick and comprehensive reporting of results from replication studies. We are looking for feedback on the usability and for people who want to modify the template to be machine readable.
Instructions: Download the StaRT template, enter results from any replication study (ideally one that you conducted and that is not yet part of FReD), and let us know about your experience.

|
Shape the Replication Journal
|
Many hours
|
We are creating a diamond open-access publication platform for interdisciplinary replication research. We are looking for (1) experts on replication research and potential editors that can handle submissions for specific fields outside of psychology and (2) submissions that include replication studies.
Instructions: Get in touch with lukas.roeseler@uni-muenster.de if you would like to contribute.

The Team
We have more than 150 researchers from various disciplines and career stages. The team is led by Helena, Luke, Lukas, and Flavio.
