ReproducibiliTea Leipzig Journal Club

Every six weeks, Wednesday, 10:00–11:00 am

The ReproducibiliTea Leipzig Journal Club is a space to discuss various aspects related to open and reproducible research practices. We meet every six weeks on Wednesday (10:00–11:00 am) to discuss articles that touch upon versatile open science topics, from general issues to specific applications, presenting both enthusiastic and critical perspectives. If you look for an opportunity to broaden your knowledge on open science, discuss pros and cons, share experiences, and get to know other open science adopters – feel warmly invited!

This journal club is for anyone who:

• is interested in open science, but hasn’t had opportunity to get deeper into it yet,
• is familiar with open science practices, but not completely convinced, or
• is an excited open science ambassador, willing to share your experience with others.

Regardless if you are skeptic or enthusiastic, we cordially invite you to join our ReproducibiliTea Leipzig Journal Club. We will discuss exciting papers, challenge existing ideas, learn our own paths through open scienc practices, and have lots of fun along the way!

When & where

Our journal club takes place every six weeks on Wednesday, 10:00–11:00 CET. You can join in person at the Wilhelm Wundt Room (A400) at the MPI CBS in Leipzig or online via Zoom. To get the Zoom link, please e-mail us or message us on Twitter.
