Join the Southampton ReproducibiliTea team for our fortnightly online journal reading and seminar club!
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 below. 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.
Please see the timetable below to find out more about our upcoming sessions. We currently host our meetings online. To join our online meetings, please email one of the organisers for details:

Please note: the Southampton UKRN team is not a Library initiative, it has members drawn 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!).
This autumn's sessions are listed below and are also available to download as a PDF.

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.
ReproducibiliTea has now joined up with UK Reproducibility Network. You can follow them on Twitter for updates @ReproducibiliT or @ukrepro
These courses have been discussed in the Southampton ReproducabiliTEA sessions:
