Pay to have your results verified?

January 22nd, 2013

The Reproducibility Initiative enables a researcher or research team to have their results independently verified. For a fee, of course.

Validated studies will receive a Certificate of Reproducibility acknowledging that their results have been independently reproduced as part of the Reproducibility Initiative. Researchers have the opportunity to publish the replicated results as an independent publication in the PLOS ONE Reproducibility Collection, and can share their data via the figshare Reproducibility Collection repository. The original study will also be acknowledged as independently reproduced if published in a supporting journal.
