1.1: Reproducibility Project

Examine the rate and predictors of reproducibility in psychological science.

Other Information:

Reproducibility is a defining feature of science. However, because of strong incentives for innovation and weak incentives for verification, direct replication is rarely practiced or published. The Reproducibility Project is an open, large-scale, collaborative effort to systematically examine the rate and predictors of reproducibility in psychological science. The results will provide the first empirical estimate of reproducibility, and will identify predictors of reproducibility. The project's inception and progress has been covered in Science, Nature, and the Chronicle for Higher Education. COS supports the administration of the project, provides targeted funds for replications, and will promote the project adaptation to other sciences
