Replications

As part of the Center for Open Science's Systematizing Confidence in Open Research and Evidence (SCORE) project, I work with colleagues to replicate findings from social and behavioural science work published recently. My public profile can be found at https://osf.io/g8z47/.

These range from push-button replications (where data and code are made readily available by authors), data analytic replications (where data need to be sourced to reproduce or replicate findings), or data reproductions. Below are papers that I have worked on with links to the OSF repository (some of these projects may not be publicly available):
