Recently more and more academic journals are implementing open data policies, posing the question for researchers of where, when, and how to share data as well as other research-related materials. As journals and funders demand the sharing of data used in publications, the way social science research is conducted and disseminated is undergoing a progressive change and the available infrastructure is being adapted. A crucial element of this change is the transparency of research. Related to this, replicability and reproducibility are becoming increasingly important in the social sciences. This includes making research data, analysis code, and study materials freely available.
The first aim of this talk is to give a brief overview of the challenges of replication and its contribution to scientific transparency. The second is to present the FORS replication service, FORS’ online replication tool and service dedicated to the sharing of replication materials.
