Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The Oxford Replication Games is a one-day event bringing people together to collaborate on replicating papers in high ranking political science and economics journals. Replication is a crucial aspect of scientific research, ensuring that results are reliable and reproducible. By participating in the event, you will contribute to the integrity of research while having the opportunity to meet fellow researchers and develop your coding skills. The event is sponsored by the Institute for Replication: Institute for Replication (i4replication.org).
Participants can register on their own, in which case they will be assigned to a small team of 2-5 people with similar research interests, or they can register as a pre-arranged team. A study from a leading journal will then be assigned to each team. Teams may either conduct a robustness replication by duplicating the prior study using the same data but different procedures than were originally used, or they may recode the study using the raw or intermediate data.
All participants will be granted co-authorship to a meta-paper combining a large number of replications.
