A Crowdfunding Mechanism for Replication Studies
Authors:Philipp Koellinger,Sina Iman,Leonie Raijmakers
Abstract
Independent replication studies are essential to the scientific method. Yet, they are difficult to publish, often underfunded, and there is no effective, public system to prioritize which studies should be replicated. DeSci Labs is launching a public crowdfunding mechanism for replication studies on DeSci Publish. Thanks to our search engine and full integration with OpenAlex, people will be able to start replication pools for >250m publications.
