Replication Research (R2)

New Announcement: R2 is turning one year old. Across authors, reviewers, editors, assistants, and advisors, we have had over 100 people contributing to R2. Thank you to all for making the first year a success! Full announcement: www.replicationresearch.org/announcement...

New publication: "Debunking decreases mistaken causal inferences" by Dhruv Aggarwal, Keyi Zhang, and @bartlettje.bsky.social on the effects of informing people about a wrong causal framing. Article, reviews, and more openly available at www.replicationresearch.org/articles/100....

What do we expect of robustness reproductions in the age of AI? Help us find out at the Münster Reprohack workshop from December 2-4. We will conduct AI-led and human-led robustness reproductions, that are subsequently submitted to @r2journal.bsky.social Apply at indico.uni-muenster.de/e/reprohack

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

New publication: "Reproduction and Replication of an Adversarial Stylometry Experiment" by Haining Wang, Patrick Juola, and Allen Riddell on disguising a person's writing style to avoid author identification. Article, reviews, and more openly available at www.replicationresearch.org/articles/9414/.

Congratulations to the project “Replication Research (R2),” which received🏆2026 SIPS Mission Award! Replication Research is a diamond open-access journal that publishes reproductions, replications, and conceptual articles concerning the repetition of research. 🔗 replicationresearch.org

Today, we are preparing our website relaunch. While replicationresearch.org may occasionally not be available for the next hour, our OJS-based website will still be: ejournals.uni-muenster.de/replicationr... In the meantime, here is an early look at what is to come.

We are very happy to have received one of the three SIPS Mission Awards - thank you @improvingpsych.org!

Together with five other journals from the Replication Journal Federation (forrt.org/rjf/), we are looking forward to helping researchers make their reproduction studies count.
