RepliCATS workshop

The repliCATS project will run a series of workshops in 2025 and 2026 as part of the SMART: Allied Health project in collaboration with the Center for Open Science. They are looking for interested SIPS attendees, including those who have participated in previous repliCATS projects, to give them feedback on their latest project.

From the organizers:

This is a small pilot session. We want your experienced SIPS/metascience brains to tell us how well (or not) our evaluation rubric translates to evaluating papers drawn from journals including Social Science and Medicine and the Journal of Health Communication. And to give us feedback on our shiny new platform.

Details:

Day 0, Tuesday, 24 June
12.30pm – 2.30pm (so you can still participate in the Day 0 social events!)
Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), main conference venue
Lunch provided + 50 euro payment (e.g. Visa gift card) + CATS merch
