Brief Statement: Which scientific results can we trust? We plan to push forward the boundaries of what we know about scientific reproducibility in general, and significantly expand the number of studies being replicated in economics and related fields. Main objectives: (1) Generate evidence by systematically reproducing all empirical results from studies published in several leading journals and replicating hundreds of studies. Target: 300-500 economic studies replicated per year by 2026. (2) Development and increased access to educational material for replication, building capacity through training, support, and a growing network. Scale-up Replication Games for researchers/students from minority groups and low-income countries. (3) Strengthen the scientific ecosystem by enabling authors, replicators and journal editors to effectively change norms through open science policy development. Develop guidelines for editors and authors; create special issues dedicated to replications. Project runs July 2023 to December 2025.
