How replications can exist in a world of publish or perish

• Lukas Röseler (Münster Center for Open Science)

Room: Galerie der ULB "You break it, you buy it" is the pottery barn rule that Srivastava (2012) suggested scientific to adopt with regards to publishing replications: They should publish replications for all original studies that they chose to publish. More than one decade later, journals do not adopt this rule, opening a gap for high-quality and researcher-led journals. I discuss how Replication Research is thought of a go-to journal for replication studies and why original journals should not be authors' first choice for publishing replications.

Repetitive Research: Who and what is it good for?

• Max Korbmacher (Haukeland University Hospital)

Room: Galerie der ULB Repetition in research is often undervalued, dismissed as redundant or unoriginal. Yet, it plays a crucial role in verifying findings, refining methods, and building reliable knowledge. This talk explores different forms of repetitive research, its value across scientific disciplines, highlighting who benefits from it, and how it can drive innovation rather than hinder it. Embracing repetitive research can improve scientific credibility, support early-career researchers, and foster a more open and collaborative research culture.

Open Access: Perspectives from different fields

Why do we replicate?

• Steven Verheyen (Erasmus University Rotterdam)

Room: Galerie der ULB We assessed all replications published in the top 100 psychology journals in the 10 years after the so-called replication crisis and investigated the nature of the replications, and the reasons provided for conducting the replications. We found that the replication rate is only half a percent across journals and that a predominantly novelty-oriented research culture even pervades the replication landscape.

Moderated discussion: What types of studies should Replication Research accept?

• Lukas Röseler (Münster Center for Open Science)

Room: Galerie der ULB In this moderated discussion, we will explore the types of studies that Replication Research should accept, focusing on the grey area between conceptual replications and traditional research. Moreover, we will discuss what the "added value" of a reproduction should be and how to prevent selection of articles based on their results.

Our vision for the FORRT Replication Hub

• Flavio Azevedo (University of Utrecht)
• Lukas Wallrich (University of Birkbeck, London)
• Lukas Röseler (Münster Center for Open Science)

Room: Galerie der ULB What is the ideal way that FORRT can support researchers conducting replications and reproductions? What could a replication ecosystem look like? We will share our vision of teh FORRT Replication Hub and discuss the nodes centered around the process from planning a replication to implementing it into teaching.

Podium discussion: Balancing quality control, inclusiveness, and efficiency in publishing

• Thomas Rhys Evans (University of Greenwich)
• Lukas Röseler (Münster Center for Open Science)
• Marianne Saam (Universität Hamburg)
• Lukas Wallrich (Birkbeck Business School, University of London)
• Susanne Adler (University of München)

Room: Galerie der ULB This discussion will revolve around two main themes: - The high quality standards that we aim for with R2 will require considerable resources. How do we prevent lengthy review and reproducibility check times while still guaranteeing rigor? - The core ideal of the journal is openness, but does this refer rather to the mandate of open data or to the inclusiveness and understanding brought forward to somebody who could risk their career in publishing a dataset that took years to create?

Replication Research (R2) Hackathon Intro

• Lukas Röseler (Münster Center for Open Science)

Room: Galerie der ULB During the Friday morning hackathons, participants will create or revise R2 guidelines about 'article types' or 'TOP guidelines', incorporating the products of our previous discussions.

Hackathon Presentations Room: Galerie der ULB Each hackathon group presents their results in a 10-15 minute talk and gathers feedback from the plenum.

The Road to Replication Research

• Lukas Röseler (Münster Center for Open Science)

Room: Galerie der ULB Concluding the Replication Research Symposium, I will summarize the efforts that have led up to its foundation and announce the action plan for the launch and starting-phase.
