Tracking and Mainstreaming Replications across the Social, Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (TRACKREP)

Replications of previous scientific work are essential to accumulate knowledge and accelerate scientific progress. Despite their relevance, replication studies are under-used and undercited, leading to a biased view of the literature. To facilitate the uptake of replication studies and their wider use in research, education, and policy, we propose to (1) develop and maintain a comprehensive database cataloguing replication efforts by crowdsourcing contributions; (2) develop two interactive online apps for finding, exploring and visualising replications allowing for field-specific metascientific analyses; (3) conduct outreach activities to teach how to best engage with our developed resources.
