ReplicationResearch.org is now open for submissions!

Submit replications and reproductions from many different fields, as well as conceptual contributions. With diamond OA, open and citable peer review reports, and reproducibility checks, we push the boundaries of open and fair publishing.
Apparently, there is still funding left in academia even though Springer Nature made $489 million profits off of it in 2024. And now they are telling researchers what great news that is.

Let me fix this for you... (inspired by arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820)

Join us for the LOVE REPLICATIONS WEEK from March 2 - 6 with talks on reproductions, replications, how to find them, how to conduct them, how to have them conducted on your study, where to publish them, and much more!

About one new replication gets published every day. If only there was a way to keep track of them all...

Here are a few random picks from January 2026:

The mismeasure of productivity "confuses the production of incidental artefacts—peer reviews, grant proposals and scientific papers—with advances in science itself. Papers are not the products of scientific research in the same way that castings are the products of a foundry."

I am very proud to have published my second file-drawer report at my favourite journal Meta-Psychology together with Lisa Incerti, @tobiasrebholz.bsky.social, Christian Seida, and Frank Papenmeier. It includes four failed attempts to confirm a new hypothesis on #anchoringeffects.

I made a mistake: A researcher who re-used our dataset noticed an inconsistency. We corrected multiple errors and requested a correction at the journal.
- Article: doi.org/10.5964/ejop...
- Corrected version: osf.io/sz5b9/files/...
Luckily, none of the conclusions were affected.

At R2, we take both quality assessment and transparency seriously. This is why we do not only publish peer review reports and reproducibility certificates for all articles but also conduct thorough initial checks. They are done by the EiC and an editorial assisstant before peer review.

Modern academic publishing part II: Sage has now blocked my (university) IP address because I have had a tab open for >4 hours since my license does not allow downloading. I now have to write my colleagues an email so that I can read papers that they are already paying an annual fee of ~100K€ for.

Where to publish reproductions and replications? (At ReplicationResearch.org of course) But seriously: There are several journal dedicated to replications and reproductions!

Just feeding "slow uptake of diamond OA journals" with numbers from Germany: According to OA Monitor (open-access-monitor.de/open-access), which uses WoS, Scopus, and OpenAlex, we are talking about less than 5% (!) of articles being published as Diamond OA.

Very excited to see convergence here! And relieved that it is in line with what we discuss in what should be called our 'Handbook for Repetitive Research' (forrt.org/replication_...).

Setting up a new journal involves a lot of work such as website materials, a constitution, submission guideilens, reviewer guidelines, and manuscript stylesheets. You can find all of the @r2journal.bsky.social materials versionized + citable in our R2 Community on Zenodo: zenodo.org/communities/...
