Delighted to be able to announce, at last, the official launch of our Replications policy at @RoyalSociety Open Science, modelled on @hardsci's Pottery Barn rule for scientific journals blogs.royalsociety.org/publishing/rep… 
The aim of this initiative is two-fold: 1st to provide a home for methodologically sound replications, regardless of results, for both planned & already-conducted studies. And 2nd, to ensure that journals are held to account for the replicability of the research they publish.
In doing so we want to unlock the vast unpublished filedrawer of methodologically sound replication studies that have already been conducted in psychology & cognitive neuroscience. If you do research then you probably have at least one of these yourself.
Did you ever seek to replicate a study but couldn't publish the results and gave up trying? Did you ever run a replication as part of a student project but weren't sure if you could publish the results? Send your replications to us. We want them.
