ZBW Panel Replication and Research Transparency

Research has to be transparent in order to be considered as credible and valid. Reproduction and replication are practices that seek to establish the validity of research. At the same time, replication is a time-consuming activity that may be conflicting with the pursuit of other goals of research in social sciences, such as originality, relevance and plausibility.

The panel will discuss fundamental aims and incentives of replication as well as concrete tools, procedures and publication outlets.

The panel will take place on 13 September 2022, 13:00–13:45h.

Panelists: Professor David A. Jaeger (St. Andrews University), Professor Dr Andreas Peichl (ifo Institute/LMU Munich) and Dr Lars Vilhuber (AEA).

Panel Chair: Professor Dr Marianne Saam (ZBW).
