About

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Münster, Germany and the managing director of the Münster Center for Open Science. I see myself as a strong proponent for Open Science and Open Scholarship.

Mission

My goal is to improve the accessibility and quality of research. I am standing up for repetitive research (e.g., reproductions, replications) to be routinely conducted and to be acknowledged as an integral part of a healthy science. Therefore, together with a large team of researchers, I am actively working on the FORRT Replication Hub where we provide researchers with tools to find replications, conduct replications, and publish them.

In August 2024, I made the first version of my German WIP book on Open Science public. I made it available online for free, because not doing so would contradict the very purpose of Open Scholarship: lukasroeseler.github.io/opensciencebuch. Together with a team of experts, we have published a handbook for reproduction and replication studies in September 2025 and launched a diamond open access journal for reproductions and replications in October 2025.

Replication Research is open for submissions

The Münster Center for Open Science and FORRT are hosting the multidisciplinary journal Replication Research (R2), which is now open for submissions.
