Improving the Credibility

At I4R, we work closely with researchers to systematically
reproduce and replicate research findings published in
leading academic journals to encourage transparency
and improve trust in social science research.

How I4R Works

Selecting Articles for Replication

Articles are selected from peer-reviewed academic journals.
As of Summer 2024, we focus on eight leading economic journals,
four politics journals, Nature Human Behaviour and Psychological Science.

Matching Replicators to Papers

Individuals or teams of replicators are matched to papers
according to their interests, skills and expertise.
There are 3 ways to get matched:

INCREASING THE NUMBERS & VISIBILITY

Discussion Papers

Researchers who either finish a replication or write
a paper about replication, can send their working
papers to I4R to be included in our discussion
papers series.

Publishing Replications

We’re working with journals to create replication
themed issues, and encouraging journals to publish
replications more frequently.

Featured Discussion Papers

Number Title Replicators Actions

Research using non-public data allows us to generate insights,
but it also makes replication difficult. That's why we're raising funds
to offer payment for researchers who complete replications that use
difficult to access data.
