Reproducibility Project

The Reproducibility Project is a series of crowdsourced collaborations aiming to reproduce published scientific studies, finding high rates of results which could not be replicated. It has resulted in two major initiatives focusing on the fields of psychology[1] and cancer biology.[2] The project has brought attention to the replication crisis, and has contributed to shifts in scientific culture and publishing practices to address it.[3]

The project was led by the Center for Open Science and its co-founder, Brian Nosek, who started the project in November 2011.[4]
