What is ReproducibiliTea?
ReproducibiliTEA is an international ECR-led journal club initiative that helps young researchers create local Open Science groups that discuss issues, papers and ideas to do with improving science. For more information see the ReproducabiliTea Wiki pages and the main page: https://reproducibilitea.org/. ReproducibiliTEA has now also joined up with UK Reproducibility Network.

The sessions are open to anybody interested in robust research practice, reproducibility, replication, open science, and transparency. In each session, we will discuss a paper relating to one of these themes. We will also have guest speakers running seminars about reproducibility and open science practice.
At current, we have a session planned for the 19th November 2024: ‘Supporting Open Research: A Funderβs Perspective’ being kindly delivered by Sophie Hall.
The best way to be part of the Southampton ReproducibiliTea community (or communiTea, if you please!) and stay up to date with when our sessions are running is by joining our Microsoft Teams group by emailing one of the team members whose contact details are below.
- Philippa Broadbent – P.K.Broadbent@soton.ac.uk

You can follow them on Twitter/X for updates @ReproducibiliT or @ukrepro or Southampton ReproTea: https://twitter.com/ReproTeaSoton
Please note: the Southampton UKRN team is not a Library initiative, it has members drawn from all areas of the University and the Research Data team in the Library supports its endeavours (and not just because we like tea and cake!). The former leads were Sophie Hall and Pip Grylls, who now have moved on to different positions outside the university.
