Replication

Investigating the reproducibility of the social and behavioural sciences

Published claims should be reproducible, yielding the same result when applying the same analysis to the same data. We assessed reproducibility in a stratified random sample of 600 papers published from 2009 to 2018 in 62 journals spanning the social …

Investigating the replicability of the social and behavioral sciences

We attempted replications of 274 claims of positive results from 164 quantitative papers published from 2009 to 2018 in 54 journals in the social and behavioral sciences. Replications were high-powered on average to detect the original effect size …

Predicting the replicability of social and behavioural science claims in a crisis: The COVID-19 Preprint Replication Project

Replications are important for assessing the reliability of published findings. However, they are costly, and it is infeasible to replicate everything. Accurate, fast, lower-cost alternatives such as eliciting predictions could accelerate assessment …

Predicting the replicability of social and behavioural science claims from the COVID-19 Preprint Replication Project with structured expert and novice groups

Replication is an important “credibility control” mechanism for clarifying the reliability of published findings. However, replication is costly, and it is infeasible to replicate everything. Accurate, fast, lower cost alternatives such as eliciting …
