I4R

The Institute for Replication (I4R) works to improve the credibility of science by promoting and conducting reproductions and replications.

🧵1/ Our first meta-science paper (with 350+ coauthors) is published today in Nature. It presents one of the largest-ever reproducibility projects in economics & political science.

Here’s what we found 👇

📢 Call for Papers! We are partnering with the Journal of Economic Surveys on a special issue: Reproducibility and Meta-Science in Economics.

Submission deadline: 1 March 2027. Details in thread 🧵

[I4R @I4Replication]

We also invite short commentaries (<4,000 words) informed by recent developments in the economics meta-scientific community. These are typically solicited — but you can email a proposal (max 500 words) to request an invitation to contribute.

We're having an amazing time at @mcgillu. Our @CAnD3_PG replication games today are focused on health! Huge thanks to Arianne Rodriguez-Saltron and Amélie Quesnel Vallée for organizing.

The authors of the great Star Wars paper and I just posted a 1-page corrigendum. It does not change conclusions. Very fun working with my fellow Jedi meta-scientists. That I checked the work is a measure of the paper's importance. The Force aligned us.

This is a fantastic and rare (!) example of authors of a published paper and the author of a comment on that paper working together to fix the scientific record. Kudos to all involved. This is not easy, even with good faith all around. I hope to see the AER follow suit before too long. @davidroodman @AEAJournals @I4Replication

11/ The stars help us navigate.

Good scientists change their minds.

May the Force be with all Jedi replicators ⭐

And all our love to @mgardot

🚨 CORRIGENDUM ALERT 🚨

A decade after Star Wars: The Empirics Strike Back was published in AEJ: Applied, we've just published an official corrigendum with the AEA.

This is a love story. 🧵

10/ And closes with a quote attributed to Leonardo da Vinci

"He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind."

For 13 years, we thought that was a fitting ending.

Now, we are even more convinced that science works best when we are willing to do the opposite.
