Replicare

Introduction

Replicare is a decentralized platform to assess and improve the computational reproducibility of published empirical research.

Why do we need more indpendent replications?

There is a replication crisis in empirical research. A large-scale replication project called the Reproducibility Project: Psychology attempted to replicate 100 published studies in psychology and found that only 36% of the studies could be replicated with statistical significance. There is a need for more independent replication to ensure the credibility of research claims.

What kind of features are there at Replicare?

• Crowdsourcing
  Anyone with a Web3 wallet can submit reproduction attempts for a research claim.
• Cataloguing
  Researchers can now systematically explore all prior attempts at reproducing a research claim using our database.
• Assessing
  Describe and assign a reproducibility score to a research claim.
• Improving
  Analyze, troubleshoot and develop existing reproduction packages for a research claim.

Roadmap

We expect our closed alpha with full functionality to launch in June 2023. Testers will be able to test the submission of replications on our platform from start to finish.

Budget Plan

All the funds raised will be allocated towards covering the development costs of the project. These costs primarily comprise salaries for the development team and fees for the development tools.
