🚨 New Project Alert 🚨
Re-Search Terms |
🔎 What it is? An open, interactive app for exploring how research terms are defined across sources and contexts, and for identifying terminological variabilities.
🌍 Core aims Build an open, pedagogical infrastructure that supports users to make more deliberate and transparent use of research terminology. Will work in alignment with the development of the FORRT glossary.
🎉 Stay tuned for future calls for contributions to expand the dataset, enrich app features, and more. Project Lead: Anna Yi Leung (Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich) or message her on Slack. Project Co-Lead: Daniel Kristanto (Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg). |

Call for Contributors: FLoRA |
Join one of FORRT’s largest and most impactful projects: FLoRA — the FORRT Library of Replication and Reproduction Attempts — the world’s largest database of replication studies, currently containing 2,000+ original–replication study pairs and supported by nearly 250 contributors worldwide. 🌍✨
Over the next 12 months, we’re preparing a major paper describing the database — and we need your help!
We’re looking for volunteers to: 🔹 Add new replication studies 🔹 Validate existing entries and classifications
🔹 Beta-test exciting new tools built from the database 💡 No statistics required — just careful, meaningful work open to researchers at any career stage.
Why join?
✍️ Contributors will be invited to co-author the upcoming FLoRA paper
🤝 Become part of a global open science community
📈 Help strengthen the reliability of the scientific record |

✨Ready to Contribute? Prepare a title, an abstract (~200-300 words), and indicate your target audience and prerequisites. Then, submit it here.
➡️ Want to discuss your idea first? Contact Lukas Wallrich or send him a mesaage on Slack. |
Share Your Voice: Big Team Science Surveys |
The CONNECT network (of which FORRT is part) invites you to complete two short surveys on Big Team Science (BTS). Despite its rapid growth, BTS is still surprisingly understudied — and your input can help change that. Your responses will support efforts to better understand how BTS works in practice, improve collaboration experiences, and communicate its value to funders and evaluation committees. 🤝 These surveys were developed by CONNECT working groups, bringing together seven BTS networks committed to advancing collaborative science. The more responses, the more meaningful the insights — so your contribution truly matters! ⏳ Deadline: May 18 Thank you for helping make collaborative science more reliable, inclusive, and impactful! |
