Dear Professor Crepaldi,

we have recently created a community-owned, diamond open-access journal for reproductions and replications that we think might be of interest to the Italian Reproducibility Network. Could you please forward our inaugural call for submissions to members of your network?

Best regards,

Lukas Röseler

Dear members of the Italian Reproducibility Network,

Over the past two years, FORRT has collectively reimagined what academic publishing could and should look like. From the scope of underrepresented research to the principles that should guide editorial decisions. The outcome of this process, shaped through open community sessions and the contributions of over fifty researchers, is Replication Research (R2), a multidisciplinary, diamond open access journal for reproduction and replication studies.

Co-owned by FORRT and the Münster Center for Open Science, R2 operates through participatory governance, open editorial deliberation, and transparent peer review. The journal emphasizes robustness over novelty, enforces rigor and social responsibility safeguards, and requires reproducibility checks for all accepted articles. It welcomes quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research alike.

In alignment with FORRT’s values, R2 embeds social responsibility, research integrity, and epistemic justice into its editorial process (see the R2 Constitution for details). Submissions undergo not only methodological but also social responsibility evaluations, ensuring reflexivity and ethical accountability.

We are pleased to announce that Replication Research is now open for submissions across diverse disciplines, including the social sciences, digital humanities, geoscience, and neuroscience. We invite your communities to contribute to and participate in this collective effort to reshape scholarly communication.

Please help us share this news within your networks.

Our full editorial is available at https://doi.org/10.17879/replicationresearch-2025-9022.

Sincerely,

Lukas Röseler (R2 Editor-in-Chief)

on behalf of the FORRT Community
