Brazilian Reproducibility Network

The paper can be found at osf.io/preprints/meta…. We will also be presenting these and other results from the project at the @METRICStanford International Forum (metrics.stanford.edu/metrics-intern…) tomorrow at 9 am Pacific/1 pm Brasília.

We have a new preprint on challenges and lessons learned from the Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative at @metaarxiv!

BRISA, our Brazilian preclinical systematic review collaboration, has a new preprint on the effect of NMDA antagonists on social behaviour. Check it out at biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

We are pleased to announce the launch of 10 recommendations for open and reproducible research in graduate programs! The document presents practical and adaptable guidelines, including resources, tools, and examples. Read more (in Portuguese) here: osf.io/m4csj

🧵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 👇

Join us on Thursday, March 5, for a free webinar exploring what Diamond Open Access is, why it matters for fair and equitable scholarly publishing and how to transition to community-led, author- and reader-free publishing models. elifesciences.org/events/94216d6…

We’ll be represented by Abel Packer from @RedeSciELO and @olavoamaral from our coordinating team!

We have a review on project challenges coming soon to address those questions, so stay tuned!

It was frustrating to find errors on the initial preprint, but this has taught us a lot both about the current state of data management in biomedical labs and about how hard it is for large collaborations to rely on asynchronous communication for most processes.

The Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative preprint has been revised with some important updates! Here is a thread describing the main changes

¡Excelente noticia! La Iniciativa Brasileña de Reproducibilidad ganó el Einstein Foundation Award por su trabajo para promover la reproducibilidad científica en Brasil. Su legado incluye a nuestra comunidad amiga, la @BrRepNetwork 🙌 Felicitaciones a toda su comunidad. ¡Parabéns!

🚨 New working paper! How well do people predict the results of studies? @sdellavi and I leverage data from the first 100 studies to have been posted on the SSPP, containing 1,482 key questions, on which over 50,000 forecasts were placed. Some surprising results below.... 🧵👇

We surely hope the world is listening!

In the words of the jury, “The Brazilian Reproducibility Network proves that a coordinated, nationwide effort to strengthen research rigor and reproducibility is possible - and should inspire disciplines and funders worldwide to follow suit.”

We congratulate our parent project, the Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative, for winning the 2025 Einstein Award for Promoting Quality in Research! award.einsteinfoundation.de/award-winners-…
