The FORRT Replication Hub (FReD) is the largest and most comprehensive open-access database of replication studies, supporting meta-research, scientific transparency, and Open Science education. With over 3000 replications, it provides an invaluable resource for researchers, educators, and policymakers. Attendees will have opportunities for continued collaboration, with contributions being recognized in future publications and project acknowledgments. This hackathon aims to scale and enhance FReD by engaging attendees in three collaborative tasks:
1.Expanding the Database
* Participants will code and add new replication studies from their respective fields, enriching FReD’s interdisciplinary scope.
* Attendees will provide feedback on coding instructions to improve accessibility for new contributors.
2.Developing Mini-Summaries for Teaching & Research
* To bridge replication research and education, we will draft concise, standardized summaries of key effects and replications, integrating critiques and implications.
3.Crowdsourcing Strategies for Outreach & Impact
Panel 1: The Future of Open Science – Challenges and Opportunities. This panel will discuss the next steps for open science, including cultural shifts, incentives, and technological advancements.
Speakers: Anne Scheel, Nicholas Coles, Barnabas Szaszi, Lukas Röseler, Stephanie Lee
Moderator: Harry Clelland
Some key questions for discussion include:
How can we create sustainable incentives for open science practices?
What are the biggest cultural barriers to adopting open science, and how can they be addressed?
How do emerging technologies, such as AI and blockchain, impact the future of open science?
How can early-career researchers be better supported in adopting open science practices?
Despite the need to routinely conduct and publish replication research, journals and funders tend to prioritize meta-research on replicability rather than primary research on what is replicable. When replication studies are published, they are often reported in batches of dozens or even hundreds, which leads to researchers neglecting quality assurance for individual studies and sets unattainable standards for singular replication studies that cannot be run online. We propose the creation of an interdisciplinary publication platform for replication research to facilitate the publication and discussion of replications and reproductions.
