Free to read, free to publish
Replication Research is a Diamond Open Access Journal with strict and entirely transparent quality control and no author processing charges. We publish close and conceptual replications as well as reproductions regardless of their outcome.
Save the date: Join us in Münster, Germany from May 14-16 for the Replication Research Symposium
The Münster Center for Open Science and FORRT are hosting an international symposium on replication research. Across three days, participants and experts from different areas discuss why and how replication and reproduction studies should be conducted and published in the social, cognitive, and behavioral sciences. The symposium will shape and define the scope of the interdisciplinary journal Replication Research, which will launch in late 2025. Check out the Call for Proposals and submit abstracts until February 28.
Subscribe to the Replication Research mailing list for updates on the discussion series, the symposium, the journal, and for calls for submissions.

Valuing high-quality replication research and interdisciplinary discussions
Replications, that is the repeated testing of previously published claims, should be the foundation for cumulative and quantitative science but they are not. We are here to change this. If you seek to publish replication research such as reproductions (same data) or replications (different data) with rigorous and transparent quality assurance (open and persistent peer review, reproducibility check) in an open and accessible way, we are here for you. We welcome both “failed” and “successful” replications. That is, we evaluate the methodological quality of research and not its result.
Due to replication research gaining momentum across fields such as economics, psychology, biostatistics, earth science, humanities, and medicine, new methods to conduct and assess replications are being developed. Currently, researchers work in parallel and thus do double work. Replication Research is a place where expertise from different fields comes together in form of theory papers to shape the gold standard for transdisciplinary replication research.
