Institute For Replication

The Institute for Replication is the organization Abel Brodeur created in 2022 in Don’t hate the replicator, hate the game. The episode says Brodeur needed more than individual requests for data and code, so he built an institutional wrapper that made authors, journals, and participants take replication outreach more seriously.

Within the wiki, the institute anchors the governance side of Replication Crisis repair. It coordinates Replication Games, sends neutral author-notification emails, gives authors a chance to respond, and helps junior researchers participate in Crowdsourced Academic Auditing without bearing all the interpersonal risk alone.
