How are AI and LLMs reshaping science—and how can it help us study it? 
Join the conversation at the FORRT AI in Metascience Online Conference, where aims to share experiences, develop skills, and critically explore the risks and opportunities of AI in meta-research.  

We’re inviting submissions from all career stages and across many formats: talks, symposia, workshops, tutorials, roundtables, and hackathons—open to researchers, developers, librarians, and more.  

🗓️ June 17–19, 2026, time-zone inclusive 
📍Online

Discover replications—right inside your library. The Zotero Replication Checker, developed by FORRT, helps you find replication and reproduction studies linked to your sources.

 

Using privacy-first DOI matching with the FORRT Library of Replication Attempts (FLoRA), it flags relevant studies and lets you add them in a click—no data leaving your machine. It is currently available in 5 languages - English, German, Spanish, Portuguese Brazil, Portuguese Europe.

Navigating open science can be overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. To support clearer and more inclusive conversations in open scholarship, FORRT presents its multilingual Glossary of key terms.  Designed to reduce barriers and improve shared understanding, it serves as a resource for learning, teaching, and collaboration across disciplines.  

👉 Now available in English, German and Arabic, with a newly released Turkish translation.

✨Chinese and Bulgarian versions forthcoming.  

A new manuscript introducing the Academic Wheel of Privilege (AWoP), offering an equity-based approach to authorship order in academia, is now available.

 

Developed by FORRT, the paper outlines how the AWoP toolkit helps address bias, power imbalances, and credit inequities in research teams.

 

👉 Read the preprint or learn more about AWoP.

New preprint offering a new perspective, “Tracking and Mainstreaming Replications in the Social, Cognitive, and Behavioral Sciences,” calls for a shift in how replication research is valued and used.

Led by FORRT, the paper argues that replications are essential yet still overlooked, and proposes the Replication Hub as a way to systematically track and integrate them into research and education.

As scientific output surges, new solutions are needed to keep research evaluation scalable. We’re excited to share that the FORRT Replication Database (FReD) provided training data and helped power the Predicting Replicability Challenge - a DARPA-backed effort testing whether AI can help assess which findings will replicate.

With Round 2 complete, the third and final round launches April 22—pushing for even stronger prediction performance.

Missed Love Replications Week? 
Good news—the recordings are now live!

 

Catch up on Brown Bag talks, practical tips on running replication and reproduction studies, and conversations on why rigor and transparency matter across disciplines.

 

👉 Watch the sessions and join the movement for more reproducible science.

Ahead of Love Replications Week (March 2–6), senior editors Flavio Azevedo, Lukas Wallrich, and Lukas Röseler explained for COS why they launched Replication Research (R2).

 

R2 was built to fix a system where replication studies struggle to get published. 
It removes key barriers—no fees, no paywalls—and shifts focus to rigor over results. 
The journal is community-led, ensuring transparency and aligning publishing with open science values.

 

The senior editors discuss how R2 came about, as well as how it ensures quality, supports reproducibility, and fits into changing research evaluation systems.
