Psychological Studies: Facts or Fiction?
Psi Chi is partnering with the Open Science Collaboration to give chapters the opportunity to contribute to a large-scale, high-profile research project called the Reproducibility Project. The Reproducibility Project will attempt to reproduce the psychological studies published in three prominent psychology journals in 2008. Those who participate will earn authorship in the publication of the results. To read about this project in full, read reviews about what this project could mean for the future of psychology, or get involved visit http://www.psichi.org/pdf/PsiChiProjectOSC.pdf.
