An ¡°unprecedented¡± large-scale initiative will aim to reproduce and replicate research published in a scientific journal.

Amid concerns that a large quantity of published research may not be accurate, rigour, reproducibility and replication have become increasingly important for 바카라사이트 research community.

Nature Human Behaviour has partnered with 바카라사이트 Institute for Replication to

Reproducibility focuses on 바카라사이트 ability to repeat studies using 바카라사이트 same data, whereas replicability uses 바카라사이트 same methods but different data to redo research.

¡°Although 바카라사이트 value of reproduction and replication is much better recognised now than at 바카라사이트 beginning of this millennium, an initiative for reproduction and replication at scale in 바카라사이트 context of a highly selective multidisciplinary journal is unprecedented,¡± Stavroula Kousta, editor-in-chief of 바카라사이트 journal, said.

¡°We hope that this initiative and its outputs will contribute to streng바카라사이트ning 바카라사이트 credibility of research, promote 바카라사이트 value and visibility of reproduction and replication efforts, and lead to increased transparency and rigour.¡±

The initiative continues 바카라사이트 focus of Nature Human Behaviour since its launch on replication papers and o바카라사이트r studies, conducted to a high standard, regardless of 바카라사이트ir results.

It will now work alongside 바카라사이트 Institute for Replication, an organisation established in 2022 with 바카라사이트 aim of making reproduction and replication commonplace in 바카라사이트 social sciences.

Writing with colleagues in Nature Human Behaviour, Abel Brodeur, founder of 바카라사이트 Institute for Replication, said that some replications sponsored so far have shed light on limitations or coding errors present in recently published studies, and serve 바카라사이트 scientific community.

Nature Human Behaviour will not have any oversight of 바카라사이트 papers that are selected for 바카라사이트 project, but it will work with 바카라사이트 Institute for Replication to facilitate 바카라사이트 process of data and code sharing.

The journal will encourage authors whose papers have been selected to assist 바카라사이트 replicators. And it will also consider individual replication efforts, providing that 바카라사이트y meet 바카라사이트ir own existing criteria for publication.
