Reproducible research ... Authors provide all the necessary data and the computer codes to run the analysis again, re-creating the results.
Replication: A study that arrives at the same scientific findings as another study, collecting new data (possibly with different methods), and completing new analyses.

Latest talk: Monday 5th May 2025 The academic impact of open science: findings from a systematic review Dr Thomas Klebel, Know Center Research GmbH. Recording: The academic impact of open science: systematic review findings presented by Dr Thomas Klebel
Abstract: Open Science seeks to make research processes and outputs more accessible, transparent, and inclusive, ensuring that scientific findings can be freely shared, scrutinised, and built-upon by researchers and others. Using the PRISMA scoping review methodology, this review scopes evidence on the academic impact of OS in 489 studies related to all aspects of OS, including Open Access (OA), Open/FAIR Data (OFD), Open Code/Software, Open Evaluation, and Citizen Science (CS). The review finds that the majority of the studies investigated effects of OA, CS, and OFD. Key areas of impact studied are citations, quality, efficiency, equity, reuse, ethics, and reproducibility, with most studies reporting positive or at least mixed impacts. The review also identifies significant unintended negative impacts, especially those regarding equity, diversity and inclusion. Overall, the main barrier to academic impact of OS is lack of skills, resources, and infrastructure to effectively reuse and build on existing research. The review draws implications for future research and policy.
Short speaker bio: Dr Thomas Klebel (ORCID and LinkedIn) is a member of the Open and Reproducible Research Group and a Senior Researcher at Know Center Research GmbH. In his research, he investigates unintended consequences of current implementations of Open Research, ways of improving the reproducibility of research findings, and avenues for sustainable business models around open research infrastructure. With a focus on quantitative methods of inquiry, he is also keenly interested in causal modelling and ways of improving research practice. Thomas completed his doctoral studies in Sociology in 2024 and holds a degree in Music Performance from the University of Performing Arts Graz.

ReproducibiliTea is a world-wide network of open research (journal) clubs that discuss ideas about improving transparency and reproducibility in research work, and the open research movement at a larger scale.
The UEA section of ReproducibiliTea was set up in November 2021 by PhD students and ECRs across all faculties who were local leads for the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN): Prerna Aneja; Dr. Ann-Kathrin Johnen; Dr. Amanda Burke; Dr. Kamran Qureshi; Dr. Gonçalo da Silva.
UEA joined the UKRN in 2021 and our institutional lead is Dr. Stéphanie Rossit. The UKRN is peer-led consortium that aims to ensure the UK retains its place as a centre for world-leading research. They do this by investigating the factors that contribute to robust research, promoting training activities, and disseminating best practice.
The main aim of the UEA ReproducibiliTea sessions is to support researchers from all career stages (from students to professors) in navigating the possibilities and challenges that the open research movement brings about. Through these sessions, the organisers hope to encourage researchers to adopt more open research practices and show them the benefits of doing so on both an individual and community-level.
These events take place on the last Wednesday of the month. For more info, please contact ukrn@uea.ac.uk
