复制性是科学的一个定义性特征。然而，由于创新的激励很强，而确认的激励很弱，直接复制很少被实践或发表。生殖研究项目是一个开放的，大规模的，合作的努力，系统地检查在心理科学的再现率和预测。到目前为止，来自41个机构的72名志愿研究人员已经组织起来，公开透明地复制了2008年发表在三个著名心理学期刊上的研究。将使用多种方法来评估结果，计算经验复制率，并调查预测重现性的因素。无论结果如何，更好地理解再现性将最终提高对科学方法和发现的信心。
Reproducibility is a defining feature of science. However, because of strong incentives for innovation and weak incentives for confirmation, direct replication is rarely practiced or published. The Reproducibility Project is an open, large-scale, collaborative effort to systematically examine the rate and predictors of reproducibility in psychological science. So far, 72 volunteer researchers from 41 institutions have organized to openly and transparently replicate studies published in three prominent psychological journals in 2008. Multiple methods will be used to evaluate the findings, calculate an empirical rate of replication, and investigate factors that predict reproducibility. Whatever the result, a better understanding of reproducibility will ultimately improve confidence in scientific methodology and findings.
