Science Exchange (YC S11) launches the Reproducibility Initiative to verify scientific research

by Alexis Ohanian8/14/2012

Many of the world’s top media outlets, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, have reported on the issue of reproducibility in scientific research. Currently researchers lack easy avenues to validate and publish reproduced results.

…that’s all about to change.

Science Exchange, PLOS and figshare, with the support of top academic journals, are launching the Reproducibility Initiative.

The Reproducibility Initiative is a new program to help scientists validate studies for publication or commercialization. Simply submit your study, and we’ll match you to one of our 1000+ expert providers for validation. Validations are conducted blind, on a fee-for-service basis.
