Overview

Officially launching in April 2026, the Replication Journal Federation (RJF) is a network of Diamond Open Access and not-for-profit journals dedicated primarily to publishing replication research. The initiative was born out of the momentum generated by Love Replications Week.


Our goal is simple: Let replication journals support each other. By cross-promoting our platforms and working as a united front, we ensure that rigorous replication research remains in the hands of the academic community.
