Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training

📣We are excited to announce that FORRT is one of the few initiatives worldwide to be formally endorsed as a Programme of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD, 2024–2033)! 🎉

🚀Making Replications Count Hackathon🚀 create open source tools that make replication studies impossible to ignore. 📅11th-13th November 2026 Münster, Germany ✈️ Travel & accommodation covered Looking for coders, data wranglers, UX folks & open science enthusiasts Apply: indico.uni-muenster.de/e/marco3

Give your peer review to the journals that give back. Diamond open access journals don't charge authors to publish or readers to access; they run on community effort, for the community's benefit. Pledge one review a year and help sustain the research community. forrt.org/diamond-reviewer

Where we send our reviews matters. Join over 70 researchers and give one review a year to a diamond open access journal and help keep knowledge free for everyone who wants to read it, and support the community that makes that possible. forrt.org/diamond-reviewer #PeerReviewWeek #DiamondOpenAccess

Peer review is a gift researchers give to the field, worth >$1B globally in 2020. Imagine if more of that generosity flowed straight back into the scholar-led journals that make research free to read and free to publish. Help build that future, become a diamond reviewer forrt.org/diamond-reviewer

How can AI & LLMs improve how science works? FORRT is delighted to host the AI in Metascience online conference. Please join us! 🗓️ 28–30 Sep 2026 · online · free Talks, workshops & hackathons — all career stages welcome. 👉 Submit by 31 Jul: forrt.org/ai-metascience #Metascience #OpenScience

Introducing the #ReplicationAtlas: The FLoRA (FORRT Library of Reproduction and Replication Attempts) lets you browser over two thousand (!) pairs of original and replication studies. Search by DOIs/keywords and find out about replications from your field, maybe even replications of your own work.

If only it were this easy to be an academic! A fun game by @forrt.bsky.social. I reached the rank of Asst. Prof in Tenure Run! 🎓 I published 40 papers and paid $2,500 in APCs to publishers. My grant money is gone and I am exhausted. 💸 How far can you make it? Play now at forrt.org/TenureRun/

In case you missed it 👀 ❗ FORRT has launched the Open Research Games Portal — a collection of games and interactive activities for teaching open and reproducible science ! Explore it here: forrt.org/games/ and feel free to browse and use ✨

Out now! The Academic Wheel of Privilege 🎡 We developed a framework & app to guide authorship teams in making equitable and thoughtful authorship decisions. @saralilplants.bsky.social, @justinsulik.bsky.social, Bethan Iley, Mahmoud Elsherif, @flavioazevedo.bsky.social 🔗 osf.io/preprints/me...

>5h recordings and slides for most #LoveReplicationsWeek talks are now available on our updated website. Thank you so much everybody who contributed to this wonderful week, participated in the talks, and partnered-up with us. I think there should be a replication of this. forrt.org/LoveReplicat...

This has been many years in the making. We wanted to do it right—not simply get it done. Our goal was to contribute, however modestly, to an academia that genuinely strives for inclusivity. May the AWoP—small as the step may be—help move academia toward greater inclusion. 🤝🫂🌈🍉🏳️‍⚧️✊⚖️♿🦮🌐

“Open research is about more than the tightening of analytical and methodological standards. The movement also invites us to reconsider how, and by whom, knowledge is created, shared and evaluated” By @maddipow.bsky.social, @drcpennington.bsky.social, & @flavioazevedo.bsky.social #MetaSci #OpenSci

Happy Valentine's Day from us at FORRT! ❤️ forrt.org

"Scientific literacy has long been a cornerstone of higher education but the open research movement has redefined what it means to be literate as a researcher" with @flavioazevedo.bsky.social & @drcpennington.bsky.social www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/if-p...
