ReproducibiliTea is a global network of journal clubs that meet to discuss issues, papers, and ideas about improving science, including reproducibility, open science, meta-research, philosophy of science, and research methods. More info on ReproducibiliTea here: https://reproducibilitea.org/.

Journal clubs will run on the last Thursday of every month at 4pm on Zoom. To make these meetings really accessible we’ve opted to set them up for half an hour (with the option to stick around for the full hour for those who are keen).

Please go to our Journal clubs page for all up to date information on upcoming as well as past journal club events.
