PEER REVIEW SUPPORT AND ADVISORY SERVICES – JOURNAL OF REPLICATION AND REPRODUCIBILITY
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is launching the Journal of Replication and Reproducibility (JRR), a diamond open-access, online-only scholarly journal and platform dedicated to replication studies, reproducibility analyses, null results, and registered reports. All content will be freely available with no author charges, pay-per-view, or subscriptions, as costs are covered by the NIH. The contract aims to provide strategic, operational, and advisory services to establish a world-class editorial leadership structure, design an open peer-review framework, and develop innovative publishing products. The journal will require a mandatory permanent repository for all supporting materials to ensure transparent and verifiable science. The program is to be built and launched over the next year, with location for performance and budget amounts not specified.
