Southampton ReproducibiliTea

Southampton ReproducibiliTea is a journal club for anyone interested in robust research practice, reproducibility, replication, open science, and transparency.

Usually, in each session we discuss a paper related to a theme, or invite a speaker to do a seminar. You can also see a list of our previous sessions and papers at the bottom of this page.

Next session:

ReproducibiliTea session will take place this Thursday, 9th May, from 12:30 – 13:30. This will be a hybrid session so you can attend in-person (B32, R2097) or online. Refreshments will be available for in-person attendees.

The session will be a joint session with Solent ReproducibiliTea on reproducibility, open science, and artificial intelligence (AI). Discussion will be focused on this article: Is AI leading to a reproducibility crisis in science? by Philip Bell published in Nature in December 2023

Please note: the Southampton UKRN & ReproducabiliTea teams are not a Library initiative, they draw members from all areas of the University and the Research Data team in the Library supports its endeavours (and not just because we like tea and cake!).

 

What is ReproducibiliTea?

ReproducabiliTea is an international ECR-led journal club initiative that helps young researchers create local Open Science groups that discuss issues, papers and ideas to do with improving science. For more information see the ReproducabiliTea Wiki pages and https://reproducibilitea.org for more information about ReproducibiliTea Journal Clubs.. ReproducibiliTea is part of the UK Reproducibility Network. You can follow them on Twitter for updates @ReproducibiliT or @ukrepro

The sessions are open to anybody interested in robust research practice, reproducibility, replication, open science, and transparency. In each session, we will discuss a paper relating to one of these themes.

We will also have guest speakers running seminars about reproducibility and open science practice.

You can join our Microsoft Teams group by emailing one of the team members whose contact details are above. This is the best way to be part of the Southampton ReproducibiliTea community (or communiTea, if you please!) and stay up to date with when our sessions are running.
