With the FORRT Replication Hub, our mission is to support reproduction and replication studies across all stages of the research process as well as all research disciplines. It consists of a comprehensive collection of resources and tools designed to assist researchers in the tracking, finding & exploring, conducting, and publishing & dissemination of reproduction and replication studies.
Reproductions and replications are often published in preprints, as part of meta-papers that can include over one hundred studies, and in different journals than the respective target studies. At the FORRT Replication Hub, we track them in multiple ways by linking original and target studies.
Gotta catch ’em all! Researchers who are looking to incorporate hundreds of replication attempts into their research and teaching can make use of our free and open-source tools. These are mostly based on FLoRA and FReD.
Since failures to replicate a large proportion of seminal findings across many disciplines, interest in reproduction and replication has surged and given rise to new techniques and methods. Our resources help students, ECRs, and experienced researchers to take up newly developed methods and conduct high-quality replication research.
Research is meant to be shared. While many areas of academic culture value innovation for the sake of robustness and repetition, we strive for equality. With a dedicated and community-owned diamond open access journal led by a group of experts, FORRT supports all researchers in publishing high-quality repetitions.
