  2. New collaboration with the Center for Open Science

    We are super excited to announce that the repliCATS project will work with the Center for Open Science on a new grant funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), extending the work we started on the DARPA SCORE Program. The SCORE program demonstrated the potential of using algorithms to evaluate claims on a large […]

  4. A SCORE of pre-prints.

    In phase 1, we crowdsourced judgements of replicability for 3000 research claims drawn from peer-reviewed journals across eight social and behavioural science disciplines. The following thread unrolls a series of pre-prints now available describing the overall SCORE collaborative in phase 1 (involving five research teams from around the world), as well as a number of […]

  5. SCORE program renewed for phase 2

    We’re excited to announce that DARPA has renewed the SCORE program—and the repliCATS project—for a second phase! What does that mean? It means your predictions met accuracy thresholds! And we’ll return in 2021. In phase 2, we’ll evaluate a fresh set of claims for likely replicability as well as ask new questions, for example, about validity […]

  6. Watch 📺 Metascience should not be defined by its methods

    Join our CI Fiona Fidler & philosopher of science Rachel Brown for a webinar on “Metascience should not be defined by its methods. Metascience, or metaresearch, is a field of research that has grown out of the replication crisis. Amongst other things, metascience evaluates and monitors open science initiatives and other interventions to improve scientific […]

  7. Closed: Express interest in assessing COVID-19 research claims

    The repliCATS project — and the wider SCORE program — has been expanded by DARPA to include 100 COVID-19 research claims from the social and behavioural sciences. Governments around the world may rely on social and behavioural science research to understand crises and inform policies. Inclusion of COVID claims will ensure that the repliCATS project […]

  8. repliCATS monthly prizes and rules

    Round 7 (final round!): 1 July – 30 July 2020 It is the final remote round for repliCATS in phase 1! So, we’ll end how we started, by giving prizes to the three participants who assess the most number of total claims in July 2020, as follows: US$500 – for the participant who assessed the […]

  9. repliCATS workshop went virtual – over 550 claims assessed in the week

    Our last phase 1 workshop was originally scheduled to run before the 2020 Society for Improving Psychological Sciences (SIPS) conference in Victoria, Canada. Then everything changed. The repliCATS team created our first virtual workshop designed to accomodate all the original workshop participants scattered around over 10 timezones. What we ended up with was repliCATS2020 workshop […]
