replicationlive

ReplicationLive is a platform designed to facilitate the replication of scientific studies. It was launched in 2019 by the Center for Open Science (COS) and the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology. The platform aims to address the reproducibility crisis in science by providing a centralized location for researchers to share their replication studies, data, and findings.

ReplicationLive allows researchers to upload their replication studies, which can then be reviewed and discussed by the scientific community. The platform also provides tools for researchers to track the progress of their replication studies and to collaborate with other researchers. ReplicationLive is open to all researchers, regardless of their field of study, and is designed to be user-friendly and accessible.

The platform has been used to replicate a wide range of studies, from psychology and neuroscience to biology and medicine. ReplicationLive has also been used to replicate studies that have been criticized for methodological flaws or for failing to replicate previous findings. The platform has been praised for its potential to improve the reproducibility of scientific research and for its role in promoting transparency and collaboration in science.

However, ReplicationLive has also faced criticism for its lack of transparency in the review process and for its failure to provide clear guidelines for researchers. Some researchers have also expressed concerns about the potential for replication studies to be used to discredit or undermine the findings of other researchers. Despite these criticisms, ReplicationLive remains an important tool for promoting the replication of scientific studies and for addressing the reproducibility crisis in science.
