Short abstract

Discovering replication studies is challenging due to scattered resources. This talk presents FORRT’s solutions such as the FORRT Replication Database and an Annotator, which centralize and tag replications for easy access—boosting meta-research, and integration into scientific practice.

Lukas Wallrich: Enhancing the Discoverability of Replications

The lack of centralized, accessible resources for replication studies hinders their integration into research synthesis and practice. To address this, FORRT has been developing innovative tools designed to enhance the discoverability and visibility of replication research. In this talk, I will introduce the FORRT Replication Database (FReD)—a curated, searchable repository of replication findings— the FReD Annotator App, which streamlines the process of tagging and documenting replication studies, and future tools that are currently in development. I will showcase how these tools can be integrated into researchers’ workflows, supporting meta-research, transparency, and cumulative science.
