Babraham Institute
Inspired by the ReproducibiliTea journal club CommuniTea the Babraham institute ReproducibiliTea journal club is a new journal club format. Our aims are to develop skills at creating figures that are both reproducible and more effective visual communications of data and results, whilst also providing constructive feedback to authors. To this end, we are looking for authors of recent pre-prints or papers who would like to volunteer their work for us to cover. The format is designed to not take up too much of your time, meeting once every 2 weeks and covering 1 paper every 4; with the first session focused on reproducibility and the second on figure design. Participants will split up into groups which will each focus on one figure.
We aim to embody open-science values by publishing our constructive critiques of the papers that we cover here on this blog, using open tooling as a collaborative project for which all our contributors shall receive credit.

Groningen
The ReproducibiliTea Groningen aims to
- increase awareness, knowledge and skills for open and reproducible science;
- build an open science community, to help, learn from and support each other in our open science endeavors;
- assist in making regular (small) steps towards open & reproducible science.
The idea is to have regular meetings on any reproducibility related topic, from discussing bias in the literature, a work-session on preprints/preregistrations or a workshop on r-markdown/Github. What the contents will be exactly is to be decided by us all and will change from meeting to meeting. We aim to be a journal club plus, in that we try to focus on practical use; hence workshops make up quite a bit of the sessions. Furthermore we’re closely related to the Open Science Community Groningen, which also hosts some of our collaboratively written blogposts on open science
We meet every two weeks, meeting times switch every week between 10.00 - 11.00 am. and 14.00 - 15.00 pm., hopefully enabling more people to join. Everyone is welcome, from any discipline and backgrounds, open-science minded or not at all. Swing by, drop in, have a cookie, and enjoy the ride!

Lyon
The Neuroscience Research Center of Lyon 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 and responsible 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.
Attendees
This journal club is open to everyone: PhD candidates, post-docs, junior and senior faculty, from any school/department at EUR and Erasmus MC. Interested Bachelor and Master students are also welcome to join, especially if it can be helpful for their thesis. Interested parties not employed at EUR or Erasmus MC can send an email to the lead organizer with a request to join specific sessions.

Welcome
Our journal club is open to both staff and students at UiO across all departments. Everyone is welcome to join us - whether you are an enthusiast, a skeptic, or a cautious explorer. Feel free to get in touch if you are interested to participate or contribute!
Our mission
- provide an informal and friendly platform for discussions about meta scientific topics
- help each other get familiarized with open science practices (e.g., pre-registrations, sharing data, sharing preprints, etc.)
- connect students and researchers from various disciplines who are interested in meta science.
Format
Before some meetings, we read an article on meta-scientific topics, which we discuss during the meeting. A discussion leader will provide a short overview of the paper and facilitate discussion throughout the meeting. Other times, we have invited guests present on a specific topic. Anyone can propose a possible paper or topic to present if we have not covered it already.

USC Libraries ReproducibiliTea Discussion Series
UWS
Bielefeld
With the “Bielefeld University Reproducible Science Tea” (BURST) group, we would like to contribute to making the process and results of scientific work more transparent and accessible. Topics that concern us include free access to publications, analysis code, data and hypotheses. Open and reproducible research is not meant to be a new niche or alternative to traditional research, but the implementation of what most of us intuitively consider to be standard research ( “Open science is just science done right” ).
The BURST-group is scheduled to meet on the first Friday of each month, and will discuss articles on the topics of open and reproducible science, as well as new developments and ideas arising in our disciplines.
Our meetings are open to both students and scientific staff in psychology and in neighbouring fields. Everyone is invited to suggest topics and articles for discussion and to participate in the organisation of the meetings.
A lot of great information on open and reproducible science can be found on the internet, and we will make extensive use of these resources. Founding a group at Bielefeld University and offering local meetings (at the university or via Zoom) is meant to facilitate a more interactive exchange among us, and to provide us all with the opportunity to bring forward our individual questions and ideas, so that we can all shape the direction the group will take in the future.
Therefore, we are looking forward to your participation and your contributions.
See you soon!
Villeurbanne

Warwick
Western Institute for Neuroscience
Our goal is to provide a place for researchers at any stage of their careers (undergraduate, graduate, postdocs, PIs, staff) to explore the principles and practices of open science. Open science promotes transparency, collaboration, and accessibility, revolutionizing the way research is conducted and shared. Through our journal club, we aim to educate and provide tools to researchers on how to adopt open science methods, understand its myriad benefits, and gain practical insights into implementing them in their own work.
