FLoRA CITATION IMPACT EXPLORER

How do replications change citation behaviour?

This tool combines the FORRT Library of Replication Attempts with citation data from OpenCitations to explore how the publication of a replication affects subsequent citations to the original study — and how often the original and the replication are co-cited.

Aggregate impact of replications

Event-study estimates: each original is aligned at t = 0, the year of its first published replication. Bands show 95% CIs from a Poisson model with study and year fixed effects (a TWFE analogue of the preregistered FECT model).

About this dashboard

Data are refreshed every Monday at 06:00 CEST. The pipeline filters FLoRA to conceptual and direct replications with outcomes labelled successful, failed, or mixed (reproductions are excluded). For each included original and replication, we retrieve all citing works from OpenCitations COCI. A "co-citation" is any work that cites both the original and at least one of its replications.

The aggregate plots show event-study estimates from a Poisson two-way fixed-effects model — a transparent analogue of the FECT specification used in the preregistered analysis. See the FReD-data repository for the underlying FLoRA dataset and the project's preregistration for the full statistical plan.
