New Journal Launch: Replication Research (R2)
Why R2 matters Reproducibility and replicability are essential but still undervalued. R2 aims to shift research culture by championing rigor, transparency, open peer review, and social responsibility. The journal supports authors with clear standards and practical guidance. 📖 What we publish High-quality replications, reproductions (using original data), and methodological or conceptual contributions on repetitive research across disciplines. We invite you to read the editorial, explore the journal, and consider R2 for your future work.

Don't Miss Your Chance to Sign up for the Open Science Retreat! 📅 April 7–11 at the Centre for Alternative Technology in Machynlleth, Wales, UK 📝 Applications close Nov 30!!!
The Open Science Retreat is something between an unconference, a hackathon, a networking event, and a retreat. It’s a chance for the open research community to come together and collectively work out what we need to do next — while also taking a moment to rest and recharge. Many of us working in open and collaborative research environments face high workloads, fragmented communities, and limited time to think creatively. This retreat offers a counterbalance: space to pause the daily rush and focus on the “why” behind our work. Our goal is to create an environment that supports deep thinking, authentic connection, and shared learning. Participants can explore ideas they don’t usually have time for, exchange knowledge across disciplines and roles, make new connections, and feel re-energized in their commitment to open and reproducible research.
