The Department of Psychology presents a lecture by Brian Nosek, co-founder and executive director of the Center for Open Science, will speak on open research.
Part of research progress is identification of regularities in nature that are repeatable. Understanding the conditions under which a regularity recurs is a step toward predicting and explaining why it occurs. Challenges in establishing repeatability may be more pronounced than recognized from the narrow case of reproducibility (applying the same analysis to the same data), to robustness (testing the same question with the same data using alternative analyses), and to replicability (testing the same question with new data). Evidence from a large sample of papers from the social and behavioral sciences provide insight into the multidimensionality of repeatability as a fundamental concept for research progress.
