Improving the Credibility
of Scientific Research
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
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.
We’re working with journals to create replication
themed issues, and encouraging journals to publish
replications more frequently.
Featured Discussion Papers
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.
