Who We Are
We are a team of tenured and early-career researchers who came together due to the shared mission of making replications count. We believe in open scholarship and cumulative, self-correcting research and support other researchers who do so.
We Make Replications Count
Replication Research is our most ambitious attempt to support researchers who conduct reproductions and replications and there are many others. Since 2022, we have been maintaining the world's largest curated replication database (forrt.org/flora-explorer/), we have conducted numerous workshops, Replication Games, and the Love Replications Week, in spring 2026, we released an open-source, privacy-preserving Zotero plugin (forrt.org/flora-zotero/) that checks your library for replications, in summer 2026, we started releasing over two thousand PubPeer comments that draw attention to reproduction and replication attempts and their outcomes, and at the FORRT Replication Hub, we are working on many more projects.
