Welcome to ReproducibiliTea
We are a grassroots journal club initiative that helps researchers create local Open Science journal clubs at their universities to discuss diverse issues, papers and ideas about improving science, reproducibility and the Open Science movement. Started in early 2018 at the University of Oxford, ReproducibiliTea has now spread to 99 institutions in 25 different countries. We are completely volunteer run, and provide a unique and supportive community for our members, who are predominantly Early Career Researchers.
Want to join the movement? Just curious for now? Grab your cup of (Reproducibili)tea and use our freely accessible and adaptable materials to get started today.
ReproducibiliTea Online
As travel and meetings are postponed/cancelled to help reduce the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), we recognise many ReproducibiliTea Journal Clubs may want to meet virtually. We've therefore launched ReproducibiliTea Online: we have put out recommendations for how to run a Journal Club or similar event online in addition to allowing Journal Clubs to open up their online meetings to those interesting in joining, wherever in the world they may be. To make this easier we've set up a ReproducibiliTea Online calendar to keep track of events which are open to the wider communiTea.

Lyon
The Lyon Neuroscience Research Center (LNRC) student club is organized by a few PhD students of the center, with no specific leader (here we rolled a dice to choose the JC communication ‘lead’). Student club sessions are organized on a monthly basis. They consist in a presentation of a paper, principle, software, method, etc somehow related to neuroscience which is then discussed in the way of locally trying to ‘fix science’. We seek to be very careful regarding the idea that any comments have to be welcomed and discussed regardless of the scientific statute at play. By ‘student club’, we do not mean that we exclude extra-student staff. They are all welcome, but we seek to stick to the bottom-up fashion of discussing, proposing, etc. In practice, our student club is also a chill-out time during which we drink tea and eat cakes.

Rotterdam
About
ReproducibiliTea Rotterdam is a journal club organized by the Open Science Community Rotterdam (OSCR). We discuss documents addressing various topics on open science practices.
Format
-
Every session, one discussant chooses a published article, preprint, or blog post about a specific open science topic (e.g., the advantages of publishing your work in open access journals, criticism of pre-publication peer review, best practices of data/code curation/sharing, …). The discussant prepares a short presentation (5’-15’) summarizing the main points of the document, but the bulk of the meeting (45’-55’) is dedicated to open discussion: is the topic relevant for your field of research? In case of specific issues, has anybody proposed and/or implemented some solutions? Can any of these solutions be translated, scaled, and applied in other research areas?
-
Even though some papers, at first glance, seem to relate only to a specific discipline (e.g., psychology has been working on open science issues quite intensively in the past years), we aim to extract general lessons that can be helpful for researchers in different fields.
-
A different discussant will take care of the initial summary, ensuring that different research areas are represented.
Attendees
This journal club is open to everyone: PhD students, post-docs, junior and senior faculty, from any school/department at EUR and ErasmusMC. Interested Bachelor and Master students are also welcome to join, especially if it can be helpful for their thesis.

The ReproducibiliTea Vienna was founded by the Early Career Researchers of the Faculty of Psychology. It is meeting once a month in order to discuss papers on open science and exchange our own open science research practices. ReproducibiliTEA Vienna is open to researchers from all areas and from all stages of research (early career to senior academics).

Waterloo - Psychology
Welcome to the University of Waterloo’s Psychology ReproducibiliTea journal club! This club is meant for everyone in the department of psychology and beyond!
We are a new club run by senior grad students and plan to start meeting in the Fall of 2021 on a bi-weekly basis. We look forward to discussing reproducibility concerns in our field as well as practical ways to improve the robustness of one’s research, while also making science more reproducible, open, and accessible.
