Dear colleagues,

Conducting independent replication and reproduction studies of past research findings has gained increasing importance in recent years, particularly in light of the interdisciplinary replication crisis affecting many research fields, including linguistics. For this reason, we have recently founded a new interdisciplinary journal, “Replication Research (R2)”, which is now open for submissions. Accepted formats include all types of replications, reproductions, and conceptual contributions on the topic of replication and reproduction research.

Thanks to a multidisciplinary team of replication experts that includes three linguists, we accept submissions from multiple disciplines including (Corpus) Linguistics, Digital Humanities, and Qualitative & Quantitative Research Methods.

We are aware that publishing replications and reproductions in this area can be challenging, which is why we have created a transparent, free, and high-quality journal.

The journal is owned by the Münster Center for Open Science and FORRT and thus follows an open-science philosophy, operating under a sustainable diamond open-access model (free-to-read, free-to-publish, authors retain the rights to their article), embedding the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) principles within its journal guidelines, and enabling PCI (peer community in) review compatibility.

If you would like to submit your research, check out our submission guidelines (http://replicationresearch.org) or send a pre-submission inquiry tocontact@replicationresearch.org. As methods for reproductions and replications are emerging across fields, we offer multiple types of support for authors, including manuscript templates and a replication handbook.

You are welcome to forward this text to anyone who may be interested. For more information, see the journal page replicationresearch.org or get in touch!

Sincerely,

Lukas Röseler (Editor-in-Chief), Miriam Müller (Editorial Assistant), Elen Le Foll (Linguistics Editor), Ulrike Gut (Linguistics Editor) & Lydia Riedl (Linguistics Editor)
